The driver will always get the blame, until there is no driver at all..
A few weeks ago now the collision mitigation on the civic decided to override my actions and the car behind was not to pleased, but that was his own fault as clearly he was driving to close. It was one of those instance when a car is in front and takes a left turn but stops halfway into the turning.
So i went to steer around it and as car was coming from the other direction. (There was plenty of room) but the radar was pointing out so the car slammed on the brakes to an emergency stop. So now it’s turned off and i only turn it on when on a motorway now. My golf never used to do that but it did not have as many functions as the honda.
I use the acc 95% of the time not just on the 140 mile trip one way to london to see my family. sometimes radars and cameras are wrong. what if a wave of water comes over the front of the car and stops the system from working until it’s clear, wipers on the windscreen do a great job and often a blast of sun can confuse the car as it can also blind a driver when it bouncing up off a wet road. So it’s one thing i think humans (well some anyway) at better at doing than a machine. The lane keep assist don’t work when wipers are on full blast and deffo is risky using acc when there is surface water. in perfect conditions it’s good but in adverse weather a no no..
