Now and again you’ll get the flashing “collision imminent” if someone merges too close in front of you, but car has never automatically braked..
Some are even a great thing.. reversing out of a parking spot when view blocked by a van parked beside you for example.. Gives a beep or 2 to let you know someones coming..
And the flashing thing in side mirrors good too especially when a motorbike sneaks into l/h blind spot..
My Puma does that imminent collision flashing but never emergency brakes whereas my prev Skoda did and saved my bacon when an l plater merged into my lane
My front proximity beepers beep if I m stopped at a light with a nib wall beside me
Lane keep turned off permanently
Stop start turned off every trip
Rear traffic alert is great
Blind spot assist is great
Active cruise control is great
Beeping at
Me to check
There’s nobody in the rear seat when I park annoys me
