Collision Avoidance In Action

This happened today. I saw the truck trying to take my lane and thankfully there was a lot of room on the shoulder of the road. I think the collision avoidance system helped.

Was that from the driver recorder app in iDrive? If so, did is start auto recording with the avoidance or did you have it on manually?

I did it manually. I have it set to record 20 seconds before and 20 after. Recording is started by holding the camera button.

It was raining so the cameras were dirty also.
