I’d bet real money that is not the case. The lane assist would function through the electric power steering.
It is possible that some functions of the stability control or traction control use individual brakes to manipulate the attitude of the car to either initiate or eliminate a slide. This is common in some sports cars that have a sport or drift setting in the stability control.
I’m not aware of any cars using brakes for lane keeping duty.
