LANE_KEEP_ASSIST_ENABLED

What it is

Enable or disable Lane Keep Assist (LKA).

Set true to enable LKA and false to disable LKA. When LKA is enabled, the ADAS system in the vehicle should be turned on and monitoring if the driver unintentionally drifts toward or over the lane marking. If an unintentional lane departure is detected, the system applies steering control to return the vehicle into the current lane.

This is different from Lane Centering Assist (LCA) which, when activated, applies continuous steering control to keep the vehicle centered in the current lane.

In general, LANE_KEEP_ASSIST_ENABLED should always return true or false. If the feature is not available due to some temporary state, such as the vehicle speed being too low or too high, that information must be conveyed through the ErrorState values in the LANE_KEEP_ASSIST_STATE property.

This property is defined as VehiclePropertyAccess.READ_WRITE, but OEMs have the option to implement it as VehiclePropertyAccess.READ only.

How the ID is built

A property ID is a 32-bit value packing four fields. Reading 0x11201008 apart:

FieldMaskValueMeans
Group0xf00000000x10000000SYSTEM
Area0x0f0000000x01000000GLOBAL
Type0x00ff00000x00200000BOOLEAN
Ordinal0x0000ffff0x000010080x1008

Reading it from an app

CarPropertyManager mgr = (CarPropertyManager)
        car.getCarManager(Car.PROPERTY_SERVICE);

boolean value =
        mgr.getBooleanProperty(VehiclePropertyIds.LANE_KEEP_ASSIST_ENABLED, 0);

This property can be read and written, though an OEM may implement it as read-only. It fires a callback whenever the value changes.
