How Does the Lane Departure Warning System in the Audi A8 Work?

I recently purchased an Audi A8 and noticed that it has a lane departure warning system. How does this system work and what should I know about it?

The Lane Departure Warning System in the Audi A8 uses cameras and sensors to monitor the vehicle's position on the road. If the car starts to drift out of its lane without the turn signal on, the system will alert the driver with visual and audible warnings.

In addition to the lane departure warning, the A8 also has a lane keeping assist feature which can actually make minor steering adjustments to keep the car in its lane if necessary. However, this feature should not be relied upon and it's important for the driver to always remain attentive and in control of the vehicle.
