Lane keep is not the same as lane centering.

I have a 2020 Palisade with lane centering. It works incredibly well. I've driven through Chicago highways with only management for lane changes. I literally will not buy a car without lane centering after having this car.

These are God awful naming schemes, completely misleading for the common consumer and bizantine in naming. Near purposefully misleading

Summary of the 3 different types (LKA, LCA, and LDW), and what each manufacturer called them last year:

The US NHTSA specifies the names here:

- L*A: https://www.nhtsa.gov/equipment/driver-assistance-technologi...

- LDW: https://www.nhtsa.gov/equipment/driver-assistance-technologi...

W = Warning, A = Assist

(Curious what names are used outside the US)

I think it was a bit of organic confusion. The challenge is they all do very, very similar things. It's just to what degree.

It does seem they starting to standardize the naming.
