In what is I am sure a weird coincidence … this happened to me on Sunday, We were traveling west on the 91 in SoCal…. Sudden stop of traffic in front, I was in ACC, lane keep on, two bar distance control for car in front, speed between 55 and 65 when the car in front slowed then stopped almost to a standstill.
My car started the brake sequence then about 15 yards from the car in front unexpectedly released the brake and actually started to resume ACC set speed (same feeling you sometimes get when changing lanes and it accelerates into the car in the lane you are entering).
Luckily I was paying attention and braked hard, as I was in the outside lane I could pull over to the hard shoulder otherwise I would have been 2-3ft into the back of the car in front.
Scared the #$&* out of me … and more so my wife who assumed I did something wrong..
Collision avoidance system never operated.
Always felt really confident with the driver assist systems until that event.

"I fucked up and the car didn't save me. However, despite being distracted, I know the warning light did not come on in time, and the car did not brake. And I know this based on my assumption that it would have stopped in time.
Please do something. Signed,
A Concerned But Distracted Driver"

This system is not perfect to be sure, however it still provides some fatigue relief. It could be better for sure. I drove the BMW Professional Driver Assistance system and it is light years ahead of PAG performance.
