LDA (Lane Departure Alert with steering control)
While driving on a highway or freeway that has white (or yellow) lane markers
and few curves, a camera, which is located on the upper part of the windshield,
uses this system to recognize the white (yellow) lane markers and when the
driver has deviated from the lane. If the system judges that the vehicle has devi-
ated from the current traffic lane, along with alerting the driver with a buzzer and
indications in the multi-information display, it will provide assistance by operating
the steering wheel to avoid further deviation from the marker lines.
