I agree with tt. Where is a good big warning symbol, but not the shake and mild correction I like on my Mazda.

I'm also hunting for a way to turn on a beeper for the blind spot detection when I have the turn signal on and a car is in the blind spot. I want that. The little yellow light on the side mirror is inadequate.

 

You sure you have traction control and vehicle stability control on? That's the main reason I posted that quote - so you would check all those conditions.

 

Hardware for an LKA-System is on board ,all it would need is a software Update,but obviously Toyota wants to keep the driver in control unlike the computer !

 

I don't think I'm ready for these systems that take control away from the driver. Unintended consequences. Warning is OK for me though.

 

Here's how it works :

 

Well who knows,maybe they'll update the system,but I doubt it to happen before the refresh hits the market !

 

Don't worry I'm fine!
Only uploaded the Video from youtube !
As I said before,Toyota obviously wants to keep the driver in control .
On a picture I posted here,one can easily see how easy it is to manipulate LKA-Systems saftey check if hands are on the wheel by just placing a plastic bottle in between the spokes .
You cannot fool Toyotas LDA as it won't stay in the Lane anyway,even if you somehow figure out a way to overcome the "hands on wheel check" it won't be of any use !
I personally like Hyundai system better,but I do also understand Toyota who especially in this country have been sued from drivers who were not man enough to admit to their own mistakes !
Just think about the legendary "Runaway Priuses"....

 

I'm for that. Let's get rid of features that encourage inattentive driving.

 

Thank you for the for the info on prine lka, I was going to trade my 2010prius for a prine,but i would like to have decent lka , like you said maybe a hyundai lka will be ok

 

I'd rather have blind spot detection. They should have made that standard equipment.

 

I drove a Prius Prime 2 weeks ago. I tested the lane departure warning. I drove the car on the interstate put on the dynamic cruise control and engaged the lane departure warning. Let go of the steering wheel. When the car drifted to the white lane marker, the car was automatically nudged toward the middle of the lane. The car did not cross the white line.This is the same result I get with my 2013 Prius 5. Try it.
