Automatic braking with nothing in front of me.

[SwampNut]

The distance setting for ACC do not affect AEB. The AEB is just a fixed thing where the vehicle thinks a crash is likely (warning) or imminent (self-braking). I've had three AEB warnings and two self-brake events. One was fully, absolutely legit and probably saved a wreck. An idiot turned left in front of me, and a box truck blocked my view. AEB saw it before I could. Another activation happened when a bicyclist just meandered out of the bike lane into my lane kind of suddenly. He swerved back. But AEB was still doing the right thing because if he'd kept going left, I'd have hit him.

The warnings have been in situations where a car was turning right, and then did that stupid thing of swerving left before going right.

The ACC and AEB have separate distance settings. The AEB is adjusted on the Uconnect settings screen. The medium setting is the default, and seems to work the best.

Great examples. So what does this show...

1) the likely hood of going 0-10 under the speed limit and getting a ticket, NOT likely

2) the likely hood of going 20 under and getting a Ticket.... likely

I think everyone can agree going 20 under the speed limit is not safe, but if a cop is dumb enough to write a ticket in the 0-10 range it’ll likely get thrown out.

Came across this randomly and reminded me of you-- so, take it from law enforcement!



Second vid quote of choice, "all you people commenting, 'oh, I was going the speed limit.' Just STOP."
