What is a "lane departure warning system"?
A lane departure warning system is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts the driver if the vehicle starts to drift out of its lane without signaling. It uses cameras or sensors to monitor the car's position on the road and can provide visual, audible, or vibrating warnings to draw attention to the issue. This system helps prevent accidents caused by unintentional lane changes, especially on highways or busy roads. It does not steer the car but helps the driver stay aware of their position on the road.
Examples
Lane departure warning systems are designed to enhance driving safety by notifying drivers if they start to veer out of their lane without signaling.
