    Screw all that “assistance” gear. My car ('17 GTI) auto braked for some leaves the other day while I was travelling 120kph

    Luckily there wasn’t anyone right behind me

      My wife’s Audi keeps doing the same. The system also isn’t smart enough to account for the rate of weight transition when ramming the brakes, so it immediately hits ABS and feels like it’s trying to stop on ice. It’s actually, genuinely fucking dangerous and enraging

      Yea the brake assist fired on me the other day because I was coming to the base of a hill at decent speed and it thought it was a wall or something I guess. I turned off the lane assist within an hour of having the car since they don’t paint lines well in my state and it kept trying to steer me based off old half faded lines DOT didn’t remove when expanding roads or doing construction.
