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.

Any others experience?
Can I ask about how you get on with lane assist?
I find that the car wants to over correct when I come close to the line and unless I have a firm grip of the wheel it could almost whip it out of my hand.
I guess some people have switched it off straight away but I want to try and get on with it...
Anybody else notice on occasion that lane assist is active, even though the function has been disabled by preference? Turning off car and restarting clears the problem, but I find it disconcerting when the car directs itself without my expectation.
Hi.. I’ve been enjoying my MG ZS Exclusive since 10th August but I wondered if there was a way to restore the electronic speedometer display once driver assist has called you up on something!?
In particular... as soon as Lane assist beeps you lose the speedometer display for the rest of the...
