It's already here. The Citroen C5 warns by vibrating the
driver's seat if you cross a white line without the
corresponding turnblinker on. It's an option, but not
an outrageously expensive one (couple hundred Euros), and
I think standard equipment on the higher trim levels.
And of course, it can be switched off.
