One thing I haven’t seen mentioned is the “accident avoidance” technology in many new cars. I don’t know if the Genesis has it, although I suspect it does.

Our 2018 Volvo has it. The lane departure is annoying and the first few times it comes on it is easy to overreact to - because it feels like I’m rubbing a curb or whatever. Today driving down I-75 in the left lane, going around Knoxville, traffic came to an abrupt stop. 70mph to stop very quickly. I got on the brake with moderate pressure, enough to slow it quickly, and started to move to the left shoulder just in case. But the accident avoidance braking kicked in, slammed the brakes on, making the front tires skip, and scared the shit out of me.

Point being if anything caused those systems to activate, Tiger might have been startled, overreacted and crashed.
