There are a ton of new technologies in new vehicles, and it can sometimes be difficult to understand what does what and why certain technologies are useful. The Lane Departure Warning and Prevention system found in modern Toyota vehicles is a prime example.
At Toyota, this system is called Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist. It is standard in the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 system and above.
The system is actually quite simple. It uses an array of radar and sensors to monitor the road and identify lane markings in the middle and on the side of the road.
In doing so, it can warn the driver if he or she is straying from their lane. Very simple and useful, it can prevent accidents caused by distractions. It is often combined with Lane Departure Prevention, which can automatically adjust the path of your vehicle to keep you in your lane if you do not respond to the system's initial warning.
If the vehicle happens to deviate from its lane, the system automatically adjusts the steering wheel to bring you back. You actually feel the steering wheel turn under your hands.
With Lane Departure Warning and Prevention, you get the added peace of mind of knowing that you won't be distracted and that you'll always be on the right path.
