My car (2023 Honda Civic) apparently has the "slam on the brakes at the last possible instance before crashing into something" feature. I say apparently because how am I going to test it? Glad to say it hasn't false triggered.<p>The adaptive cruise control has done spurious braking, but not too hard andonly at night when there are lots of oncoming glaring headlights. That's when I wish you could disable the adaptive part, but you can't. The other slightly alarming thing was that after repeatedly observing it slowing all the way to a stop as the car in front does, once it didn't! The car in front braked fairly hard to make a left turn, but then had to wait for oncoming traffic to clear. I wanted to see what ours would do. Slam right into him, that's what (and then had to brake really hard to avoid that). For some reason it missed the cue. So yeah, full driver attention required. That said, adaptive cruise control is a huge boon for stretches of highway with no passing opportunity for 100+ kilometres and loooong convoys behind one 70km/h slowpoke (Highway 7, for Ontarians). Instead of frayed nerves and endless lookout for <i>maybe</i> a queue jumping opportunity... just put on the adaptive cruise control and chill. Works for me.
