Next, we have the lane keeping assist system. This system employs a camera to recognize the white traffic lane lines and applies electric power steering to assist the driver in keeping the correct driving lane.

If the system detects traffic lane deviation, the driver is warned via a buzzer, a display, and a small steering force is applied to the driving wheel to guide the driver back within the traffic lane.
