I have a subaru crosstrek with the eyesight package, and it can't do lanekeeping. Are you sure your forester can?

Auto braking and automatic speed adjustment cruise control, but no lanekeeping. It does have an alert when you leave a lane without signaling, but that's not the same as actually keeping you in the lane.

2017 added lane keep assist. Note everything else featurewise has been available for a while and the outback has had LKA for at least a year.

So, I've made it from Burlington, Washington to the Canadian border without turning off Autopilot in Friday evening traffic (about 50 miles, including some pleasant winding interstate). As described by Subaru LKA "...can gently guide the vehicle back to the center of its lane if sway is detected". It sounds like it only corrects for small deviations rather than actually completely steering for you? Is Subaru under-selling it in their press release (which would honestly be sort of amazing)?
