Adaptive cruise control requires some degree of lane detection. It has to figure out what car it's actually following, not merely what car is in front of it. (The road is turning, the car in front of you can easily not be the car you are actually behind.)
Lane keep keeps your car in the lane so you can stop paying attention just like cruise control keeps you going the same speed so you can stop paying attention… they don’t.
They are just aids that ease fatigue on long trips.
The "fatigue" from long trips is hardly a result of having to keep in a lane.
It's more so the result of being awake, doing effectively nothing, for a long time. Lane Keep assistance is a useless technology for 99% of the population and the 1% who need it, likely shouldn't be driving a car anyways.
The more we "aid" fatigue, the longer drivers will attempt to drive. This cannot be a good outcome. The worst driving occurs when one is practically half asleep.
