LDWS – Lane Departure Warning System; a computer system designed to warn the driver when the vehicle begins to move out of its lane (unless a turn signal is on in that direction) on freeways and roads. These systems are designed to minimize accidents by addressing the main causes of collisions such as driver error, distractions and drowsiness.
