What does Emergency Lane Keeping mean?

Emergency Lane Keeping System intervenes more actively in the driving path only when an emergency situation is detected. Introduction to Lane Keeping Assist System: Lane Keeping, fully known as Lane Keeping Assist System, is a type of intelligent driving assistance system. When the vehicle deviates from the recognized lane markings, the steering wheel will vibrate, and the vehicle will alert the driver with a "beep" sound to pay attention to safe driving. Function of Lane Keeping Assist System: The Lane Keeping Assist System helps correct the driving path when the vehicle gradually deviates from the lane. Typically, the system will issue a warning to the driver to correct the driving path; however, these systems will also slightly steer the vehicle to prevent it from continuing to deviate from the lane.
After driving for so many years, I often rely on new technologies, especially during long trips. Emergency Lane Keeping is a feature that automatically intervenes when you unintentionally drift out of your lane and are about to hit roadside barriers or other vehicles. It gently steers the wheel or slows down to bring your car back to the center of the lane. This is mainly to prevent accidents, such as when you doze off or get distracted by your phone. However, it only activates in emergencies, unlike regular lane-keeping systems that work continuously, reducing the risk of false interventions. In practice, I find this feature most useful in rainy or snowy conditions or on sharp highway curves, significantly improving safety. Many car models, like newer Toyotas and Hondas, come with it as standard, and it's easy to set up—usually controlled by a button on the steering wheel. Remember not to rely on it entirely; stay focused on driving, but it can truly be a lifesaver.
