My VW Passat was on ACC and LKAS just a week ago when it suddenly stopped detecting the car in front and was about to drive into it. This was also at a red light. As I was actually paying attention, I just hit the brakes manually. Technology isnt perfect. This happens to all cars. |

it kinda drove like a drunk lead footed teenager. it was cool conceptually, but it didn't seem to work very well and it was a rough ride of heavy acceleration and deceleration with occasional odd steering choices. it also had these lights on the mirrors that would light up when someone was in the blind spots, which ultimately were kind of annoying/distracting.
it felt like maybe the ui for these features, which seemed to push you towards setting adaptive cruise and lane keeping, and then letting the car do the rest, wasn't really in line with the actual capabilities of the system. although, maybe i just wasn't used to it. it would certainly do scary things like accelerate harshly upon cars ahead when the road was curved or had small hills that temporarily obscured direct line of sight to them.
