interesting scenario today that I thought I'd share to see if anyone else has had a similar experience.
I was on the freeway headed to work with AP engaged in the right lane getting ready to exit when I noticed a a car and tow truck in the breakdown lane to my right.
I was curious as to how AP would react to this scenario so I left it on as we passed the car and tow truck.
AEB kicked in with the rapid three beeps and red light flashes on the IC, the car decelerated rapidly as I drove by the stopped car and then, as if nothing happened, re-accelerated as we passed them.
From what I can see, the tow truck and broken down car was close to but not on or over the lane line between us. AP still thought it was an obstacle and triggered AEB.
Not a big deal as I was ready to take over in any emergency but was still sort of surprised AEB kicked in and car decelerated rapidly. The only real threat would have been if I had a car following me too closely.
I'm constantly learning about the quirks and nuances of AP and this is just another case of that. Just thought I'd share.
