    triggered by a shadow cast by a bridge

    Front collision assist is radar based. It doesn’t react to shadows. It physically can’t. I do agree with the adaptive cruise control though, ours is slow to react/pick up again as well. But after seeing how much more petrol we use when driving with ACC, that hasn’t been a problem anymore lol.

    I thought it was odd, but it was a clear motorway with no leaves or debris and nothing in front of us, yet the brakes slammed on the second that we hit the shadow. Could have been pure coincidence, but either way we lost confidence with the car, especially as the dealer couldn’t find a fault.
