    Idk, seems to work well in the '24 rental I’m in rn

    Plus LDWS can be found in cars as early as '16, hardly new

    You might be thinking of active lane keeping, which is much newer, usually coupled with the new crop of “Advanced” Driver Assistance systems. Which my rental also has, I give it a so-so on its autopilot. Works ok on the highway

      LDWSs are annoying AF if you drive anywhere with frequent road construction/maintenance…It will vibrate and beep loudly for no fucking reason, giving the drivers fucking jump-scares, because it can’t differentiate between the old currently unused white lines and the temporary bright orange ones currently to be used. They’re are half-assed solution in place because of poorly written regulation.

      Edit: and “newer” implementions are also “active” so they will jerk the steering wheel as well…fucking insane. Our 2020 VW Up has this bullshit, luckily it’s easily disabled with a button.
