I suspect that's for the lane departure warning system?

This is a very long thread, so I assume this has been discussed and I missed it--but I notice a couple of posts from people talking about short bursts of strong, harmonic vibration. That's exactly what the lane departure warning feels like.

Is there any correlation in general between vibration and having/not having the lane departure warning system? (For the record, we do have the system, and we don't get the vibration so far.)
I drove a luxury line with tech, not sure about lane departure. It had a different steering wheel and did not have the vibration.
