Yes, the functionality that tries to keep the vehicle in the lane nearly steered me into a concrete barrier in a construction zone when I rented a vehicle a few years back. Not exactly the kind of stuff I want happening while I'm driving on a highway in a foreign country. Could have ruined the trip, or worse.
- jacquesm 4y agoIn my case a fairly new C-class MB that decided that posts on bridges are in front of the car and not to the side and a large advertising board in a corner was about to be hit. In both of those cases the car turned what was a perfectly safe ride into instant near accident and if not for many years of experience I'm pretty sure the first would have resulted in a major crash. I got rid of the car after the second one. Automatic emergency braking is probably great if all you do is highway traffic and stop-and-go but it really sucks that you can't disable it and that it isn't able to distinguish between safe and unsafe to a degree that it will turn a safe situation into an unsafe one all by itself. At that point in time a safety feature becomes a risk in itself. Possibly the statistics are still in favor of the solution but I'd rather take my chances.
