> Lane keep is not the same as lane centering

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.
