In otherwords, distances were short becuase you know, bumper to bumper traffic, but we were all matched speed wise and had it under control. My M panicked and mashed on the brakes causing the guy behind me to panic brake and nearly hit me. I'm sure the guy behind him did the same and nearly hit him. I'm not sure if the BMW system looks for turn signals in the next lane over as a clue that the car ahead may be merging into your lane? In this case the guy didnt signal his intent to come into my lane. BUT I was not caught unaware because in true human fashion, he actually turned his head to look and we made eye contact. I could see him turning his steering wheel: Human, 1 point. BMW brake Assist, 0.

I have a New Bronco on order. It has "Ford Co-Pilot 360" in it. I made sure with the salesman, who has a Ford Ranger with the same system, that it can be turned off and left off (i.e. not reset with each ignition cycle). First thing I do when I get the Bronco many months from now, it turning that effing system off. If I ever own a car and it panic brakes or panic steers for me, f-that, it's out of the fleet. |
