I don't know if anyone has thought of this idea before.
Long coastal roads are exposed to strong lateral or semi-lateral sea winds.
This may cause inconvenience for the driver of the car to keep the car within the lane on the road.
I experienced this myself.
The automatic lane-keeping feature in modern cars is supposed to compensate for this. However, not all roads have clear lane markings that allow this feature to work, especially long, remote coastal roads.
Also: Not all cars are equipped with this function.
I have a suggestion here:
Installation of air pressure sensors on the sides and/or the corners of the car, so that it can electronically determine the direction and intensity of the wind, and thus automatically enhance the necessary pressure on the steering wheel to keep it in the lane, instead of the annoying manual effort of the driver.
This is not a part of an automated driving mode (pilot driving).
It is just a sort of "mechanical" assistance or "relief" to the driver.
Thus, the driver has to keep holding the steering wheel all the time.

Applying this idea would be of greater importance in sailing boats, ... much more than in cars.
This is because the wind direction and intensity is a huge factor in the sailing boats world.
That technique can help instantaneously (whether mechanically or electronically) initiating the necessary momentary sail(s) adjustments (slope, strength, wind facing areas ..etc.) according to the real-time changes in the surrounding winds.
It (applying this new idea) would be mandatory in Sailing, most often.
