Mine did a full on emergency stop for no real reason the other day. Was driving around a country lane and had to pull right over for an oncoming car (which activated the parking mode). The other car stopped to let me through and as I moved off the car erroneously decided I was going to hit the side of the road and the car stopped dead at about 4 mph. My passengers thought I’d crashed it was that hard.
It did a similar thing the next day just as I pulled away for some foliage!
I can understand it has to brake before you actually hit something but when it gets it wrong it’s very unnerving. I tended to steer to clear of the side of the road after that for fear of the car slamming on the brakes for no reason. I think in future I’ll be turning that particular safety feature off but unlike the mostly dangerous lane assist, it’s something I’d rather leave on for the times it isn’t wrong.
