87-887: The Acura TLX was first revealed in January 2014 at the North American International Auto Show as the "TLX Prototype", a sedan designed in Acura's Los Angeles Design Studio as a replacement for the TL and TSX sedans. The production version was unveiled in April at the 2014 New York International Auto Show . The TLX entered production during July at Honda's Marysville Auto Plant with sales beginning in August. Two powertrain options are available. A 2.4-liter four-cylinder DOHC i-VTEC engine with direct injection

174-606: A lane departure warning system ( LDWS ) is a mechanism 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 arterial roads . These systems are designed to minimize accidents by addressing the main causes of collisions: driver error, distractions and drowsiness. In 2009 the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) began studying whether to mandate lane departure warning systems and frontal collision warning systems on automobiles. There are four types of systems: Another system

261-406: A Lane Keeping Assist function on the new E-class . This system warns the driver (with a steering-wheel vibration) if it appears the vehicle is beginning to leave its lane. Another feature will automatically deactivate and reactivate if it ascertains the driver is intentionally leaving his lane (for instance, aggressively cornering). A newer version will use the braking system to assist in maintaining

348-459: A curve with a radius lower than 250 meters. Lane departure warning systems also face many legal limitations regarding autonomous driving. As stated previously, this system requires constant driver input. Vehicles with this technology are limited to assisting the driver, not driving the vehicle. Lane departure warning systems biggest limitation is that it is not in complete control of the vehicle. The system does not take into account other vehicles on

435-510: A deactivation switch on the dashboard; it works by using an optical sensor on both sides of the car. Audi A7 introduces Audi active lane assist. Mobileye developed a system that detected lane markings , and identified when a vehicle departed from its driving lane without the use of the turn signal.

Body structure is 13-percent stiffer than the standard TLX, while front spring rate as well as front and rear anti-roll bars are also stiffer compared to the standard model. The 10-speed automatic transmission

783-528: A lane detection algorithm works to help lane departure warning is shown in the figures. Lane warning/keeping systems are based on: In Europe, the lane departure warning system should be compatible with a visible lane marking identification standard such as commission regulation EU-351/2012. The concept and a working model of this technology was invented and fitted to a Rover SD1 in England by British inventor Nick Parish in 1988. Patent application No 8911571.1

870-399: A larger center tunnel, reinforced lengthwise with 980-MPa grade steel is used. A single-piece rear bulkhead steel stamping improves body rigidity without the rear seat brace found on previous TL models, allowing for a folding rear seat trunk pass-through. An underbody triangular brace is added to stiffen the rear suspension on AWD models. An electric-servo brake-by-wire system similar to

957-473: A mobile phone. An Insurance Institute for Highway Safety raised concern that drivers may be less vigilant when relying on automated safety systems or become distracted by dashboard displays that monitor how the systems are performing. Two separate studies found that lane-keeping systems and blind spot monitoring systems had lower crash rates than the same vehicles without the systems. Police crash data from 25 states between 2009 and 2015 for vehicle models where

The TLX-L is only offered with

1218-790: A vehicle back into the lane if it starts to leave or proactively keep the vehicle in the center of the lane. Vehicle companies often use the term "lane keep(ing) assist" to refer to both reactive lane keep assist (LKA) and proactive lane centering assist (LCA) but the terms are beginning to be differentiated. Tesla uses the most advanced lane assist system (kind of LKA) combined with their adaptive cruise control system marketed together as ' Autopilot '. In 2020, UNECE released an automated lane keeping system (ALKS) regulation which include features such as lane-keeping and adaptative speed for specific roads up to 60 km/h. Tesla includes features like lane-keeping assist and also automatic lane changing without driver input. A similar technology to lane assist

1305-557: Is UB5 for front-wheel drives and UB6 for the SH-AWD model, while the model code of the Type S is UB7 . Built on its own new platform, the TLX uses a front double wishbone suspension with forged aluminum lower control arms, mounted to cast aluminum damper towers and an aluminum subframe .

The car also contains an active exhaust system, which can alter

1479-547: Is mandatory for new cars and vans in the European Union as of 2022 under the name Emergency Lane Keeping System. Lane departure warning systems and lane keeping systems rely on visible lane markings. They typically cannot decipher faded, missing, or incorrect lane markings. Markings covered in snow or old lane markings left visible can hinder the ability of the system. UNECE regulation 130 does not require LDWS of heavy vehicles to work under 60 km/h or to work in

1566-468: Is standard, and the ACE structure has been upgraded. The new airbag marketed as a "catcher's mitt" is designed to "catch" the occupant's head in the event of an oblique collision. During an impact, uninflated side panels help guide the occupant's head in the direction of inflated chambers acting as a "catcher's mitt." To disperse crash forces more effectively, two tunnel caps made from 780-MPa steel originate from

1653-413: Is the emergency lane keeping (ELK). The emergency lane keeping applies correction to a vehicle which drifts beyond a solid lane marking. One of the main causes of single vehicle crashes and frontal crashes is lane departure. The goal of the lateral support systems (LSS) is to help to avoid such crashes. Without those LSS systems, lane departure can be unintentional; the car drifts towards and across

1740-437: Is used to do autopark feature as well. Requires driver control while vehicle is in use, but adjusts steering if vehicle detects itself drifting out of lane ((LKA) refers to reactive "lane keep(ing) assist" and (LCA) refers to proactive lane centering): List shows up to 2015 model year. This feature has become more widespread since then, as seen below. Allows unassisted driving under limited conditions Lane keeping assist
