My expectation of the system is as the car drifted toward the white line, it should have torqued the wheel to put it back in line, however what had happened was the car just drifted half way into the other lane where I then took control of the steering wheel again to direct myself back into my lane.

I'm not sure whether night time visibility has anything to do with the camera operation, but it seems clear that the system isn't working at all.

The only thing I'm thinking is that the system might work best on highways where you are driving at a faster speed (say 100km/h+?) and that it wasn't meant to be designed for slower suburban speeds.
I am experiencing the same issues with the Lane Keeping System.
I have both Lane Keeping Alert and Lane Keeping Aid activated t the highest level of intensity. And all it does for me also is drive right into the next lane...

With the MC Titanium it would vibrate its little heart out all the time.
Not in the MD...
