lane keep 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 drifts beyond a solid lane marking.

    Do I need to update the firmware?

    Hi. I bought a 2022 Mg4 SE Long Range last month, and I've checked the firmware today, and it ends with R13. I've read on here that there are a few later versions, however I've also heard horror stories about the LKA and Collision Assist being dangerous. At the moment, I've done about 800...

    New MG4 Premium: Bongs, Speed Limiting and Lane Keep

    The steering wheel is still tugging me over despite having switched off the lane keep assist button on my new MG4 Premium. Very upset about this feature which in my opinionI is dangerous.. When using the Manual Speed Limiting, (a feature I always loved on my old Trophy) the car seems to be...

    Bings & Bongs & steering tugging returned

    Mysterious return of the dreaded BINGS & BONGS for no apparent reason. Suddenly MG Custom Pilot wasn't doing it's job and I don't know why, steering tugging on lane keep assist and the awfully annoying bongs on over speed limit, despite being turned off in Custom Pilot. I tried resetting...

    Lane Keep Assist not working

    I've now had my MG3 Hybrid+ for a couple of weeks now and am on the whole impressed with what you get for your money. The only real thing that I've noticed, is that the Lane Keep Assist function 9 times out of 10 appears to do nothing (IE. no warning beep etc.). You can wander right over the...

    1st Service (in Australia)

    I just had my first service for our MG4 LR 77 (aka Trophy ER) and very happy. Our service interval is 40,000kms/2 Years for the 1st and they reminded me that the 2nd is due in another 2 years or at 80,000kms. I'd got to 42,415kms by the time I could get it booked in. They're very busy! The...

    I am new to this Forum. Just writing this to say that I am very impressed with my first year of trouble free motoring in my Trophy Long Range. Initially I was apprehensive about converting to an EV but was attracted to the concept. I had test drives in an MG4 Trophy, Cupra Born and BYD Dolphin...

    Rear radar sensor knocked off with a light tip?

    Hi, Lane keep assist kept turning off . I assumed it was a software bug . Staff at the dealership pinpointed a light scratch on the panel suggested someone bumped the car. They glued the sensor back into place on the bumper and suggested I go to a body shop and get it welded on if it falls off...

    Questions about buying a used MG4 SE

    (UK) I'm looking at buying a used SE 51kw and trying to figure out what differences there are in different aged cars to decide whether to get a 73/24 plate or an older one. I'm interested in one pedal drive. 1) Seems the major update is around 73 plate. Assuming I don't care about wipers or...

    Lane Keep Assist possible fix

    I won’t say this is a fix to the problems associated with lane keep assist, and those that keep turning it off each time they get in the car, but this is a solution I have been using to make it work “normally”. If you try it, and it works for you, come back and say so, so that others can get...

    MG4 lane keep still an issue?

    Hi, I've been looking at getting an MG4 for a while. What's holding me back is the negative stuff I've read about lane keep assist i.e. that it's a bit unpredictable and even dangerous under certain conditions. I think the current firmware is R63, has this issue been sorted out in this FW...

    "please take control of vehicle"

    Driving my MG4 Trophy home from Kent, I got the message "please take control of vehicle" in red on display twice. Both times I was driving in cruise control, OPD, lane keep assist disabled, on a dual carriageway when the message flashed up and the car dramatically lost speed as it dropped out of...

    Lane Keep Assist

    In the latest podcast it was confirmed that MG4 owners are going to get an update to LKA after it being reported to the various safety institutions as potentially dangerous. Does anybody know if MG ZS EVs are also going to get the update? My LKA on my ZS is currently turned off, because it...

    Memory

    Anyone else getting irritated with the memory of the car? I’ve had the car two days but every time I turn off lane keep assist or front collision it comes back on when starting the car again. It’s the same with a few other features like regenerative braking. But then all convenience features...
