In fairness, Mr Forester wrote a very long time ago and assumed automobile pilots were neither homicidal maniacs nor stoned out of their minds. This isn't as true now. He also wrote before walk-around telephones; now every other driver is consumed with denigrating some kid in a chatroom with his thumbs while wandering across lane lines...

By 2040, these kind of safety features will be present in more than 90% of the cars, so it will be meaningful for a cyclist to make sure the car LIDAR has seen him rather than the car driver...

 Does that feature mean a driver cannot move over (slightly out of lane) to give courteous space when passing a cyclist? I don't know.

"Lane warning" gives a warning sound and tactile feedback when the driver crosses a lane marker without activating the indicator.
With "Lane Assist" the car automatically gently steers such that the car stays in lane (this feels a bit like a 1/2" curb).  It can be overridden by actively steering out of the lane or by activating the indicator.
