Imagine you are going along a straight road, not too much traffic, the speed limit is high and you are enjoying it. Suddenly your assistant software decides to turn your steering wheel hard to the left.

You will have no chance.

What have you done wrong? What is it what you are accountable for?

For mine

there’s feedback to ensure you’re alert, touching the wheel every once in a while
when it made me nervous, it was drifting to the right or slowing, not suddenly moving anywhere.

So did the car think there was an impending collision? That should be obvious in the logs and the only reason for sudden maneuvers
