lane assist

In road-transport terminology, a lane departure warning system (LDWS) is a mechanism designed to warn the driver when the vehicle begins to move out of its lane (unless a turn signal is on in that direction) on freeways and arterial roads. These systems are designed to minimize accidents by addressing the main causes of collisions: driver error, distractions and drowsiness. In 2009 the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) began studying whether to mandate lane departure warning systems and frontal collision warning systems on automobiles.There are four types of systems:

Lane departure warning (LDW): Systems which warn the driver if the vehicle is leaving its lane with visual, audible, and/or vibration warnings
Lane keeping assist (LKA/LKS): Systems which warn the driver and, with no response, automatically take steps to ensure the vehicle stays in its lane
Lane centering assist (LCA): Systems which assist in oversteering, keeping the car centered in the lane, and asking the driver to take over in challenging situations
Automated lane keeping systems (ALKS): Designed to follow lane markings with no human driver.Another system is the emergency lane keeping (ELK). The emergency lane keeping applies correction to a vehicle which drift beyond a solid lane marking.

    MG4 Lane Assist Rejection

    I’m at my wits end with the lane assist (LKA) in my new MG4. The service department accept it’s an issue with no fix at present (other than turn it off) and have had 100’s of complaints about it.

    Save Settings

    There are many posts here and references in reviews regarding the Lane Assist function and how drivers turn it off every time they use the car. The secondary gripe to this is that the car forgets the changed setting each time you use the car. Some say the amnesia is due to the Euro NCAP system...

    Lane Keeping forcing lane change

    A couple of times now, when driving down the motorway, the car suddenly tries to veer into the next lane. As if it suddenly thinks I am straddling a line. Luckily it only just starts crossing the line into the next lane before it gives up. This allows me to correct before I hit anyone. But...

    Lane Assist Trying To Kill Me!

    I have had my MG4 EV for approximately 4 weeks (2,000 miles and counting!) and my lane assist is most definitely trying to kill me! Leaving it in emergency lane assist is asking for an accident, the car reacts so violently that you can quite easily end up in a different lane, or off the road...

    Lane assist. MG4.

    A lot of people are asking, can you turn off the Lane Assist, As far as I know if you have a accident and the LA is turned off your insurance company may use it as an excuse not to pay up. I think on the MG4 you can reduce the sensitivity.

    MG Pilot vs Cruise Control + Lane Assist?

    Maybe I'm missing something but looking at the manual (don't yet have my Mk2 MG5 in the flesh). I can't see what the full MG Pilot offers on top of the functionality you get with adaptive cruise control on and lane keep assist on. Can anyone clarify please?
