You're not supposed to notice the presence of ANC and DPC, but people who modified their cars' front suspension bushings promptly found out that this did not continue to be true. I think some vendors now state that their front control arms aren't or may not be compatible with the EPAS year cars.

That may (or may not) be the only external sensor. Obviously there has to be some sensor(s) somewhere - possibly inside the EPAS unit itself - that is/are involved with determining what the ANC and DPC corrections need to be. Those corrections are small amounts of steering generated directly within the EPAS system, completely independent of the driver and the steering angle sensor.

The software still needs other inputs to determine when or how much compensation is needed. Not all roads have the same amount of crown, nor would all cars' wheels and tires exhibit the same amounts of nibble. If it's all contained inside the EPAS unit itself (as I suspect), it would not be obvious.
