And... ACC is getting better with each new generation. In addition I like that (My wifes) car is able to jump on the brakes quicker than me in extreme circumstances. It's happened once in three years. I'm not prone to driving close or rear ending people, but these systems are quick to recognise the extent to which seemingly slowing traffic in front is in fact emergency braking.
BTW that situation was caused by an Audi driver
making a left turn to go up an acceleration lane on the A38 dual carriageway.
She was nearly T Boned by an artic that had to take to the verge to avoid rear ending the cars in its lane between it and her car.
This was all on the brow of a hill with limited vision of what was unfolding ahead.
