Lane Keep Assist - How Well Does It Work?

[Kia Stinger]

Tell me about LKA (lane keep assist). When I've used it in cars in the past, it works well for soft turns on the highway - but they need to be fairly soft. Every so often it'll surprise me and actually take a fairly bendy turn - but not much. How does it work for the Kia Stinger?

One issue I've seen with other cars is that it tends to steer the car into a turning lane once the "line" that the camera tracks disappears and moves further out to the left or right depending on where the ramp is. Does this work any better for the Kia Stinger?

I have it but don’t use it much. You can even set it to where it is more or less active. I have had it keep lane on a soft bend but highly doubt it can do it on a more severe turn.

Thank you. Adjustability is nice - and something not every car with the feature has. I'm curious to see what people say regarding how hard a bend the system can turn for/with. I'm sure it won't be a hard turn - but maybe we can get an idea as people report their experiences...

I have been playing with it. I feel that it is very impressive. I have taken my hands off the wheel (more like just hovering above the wheel) and the car has stayed in the middle of the lane through the turns. Last night I was coming home late from work and the car practically drove itself. It took on many gentle turns with easy. Not sure I would completely trust it on more aggressive turns, but I haven't had the chance to see how it does on those yet.

I reviewed it a little bit in my past post but I think it works fantastic! It's obviously not as good as Tesla's but I think it's great. It will take most turns and hard ones too, the camera works very well and picks up the lanes most times, even in rain! There are sometimes when it won't do a hard turn or it gets close to another car so I'll take over. But most of the time it'll pretty much drive itself!! I would definitely recommend the $2,000 drive wise package as it also includes more safety features like auto emergency breaking and smart cruise control with stop and go.

Turn lane stripes and poorly-maintained roads seem to baffle it a bit at times. I don't keep it on the most invasive setting. But the beeps are somewhere between amusing and frustrating. LOL

I tried it few times and it seems to work well enough. The main reason why I'm not using it is that the car warn me to keep my hands on the wheel every 15 seconds or so. Guys do you know a way to bypass this warning?

Well all my sensors work very well!

Wiggle it a bit every 15 seconds.
