Any body else?
Our car's HW2 - EAP stuff seemed to go "live" this evening - while my wife was driving the S home from visiting a friend 10 miles away at a Huntington Beach hospital. When she got home she said the S seemed to be acting funny. But she couldn't explain why she thought that. She's still learning all the levers, and like me, occasionally turn on/off the wrong things.
20 minutes after she got home, we were both in the S to go visit friends about 3 miles away. She had me drive. The "assistance" & "cruise control" and other warnings had cleared, so I tried to see if any of the user programmable safety distance settings were active. I set it at a far distance, and the S started slowing for the car in front of us WAY before I normally would. After the light changed, the S began driving on its own, back up to a safe following distance behind the car in front of us. I cranked the safe distance setting back to a close distance, and I almost used the brakes my self as it was uncomfortably close when the S began braking ... not 'hard' braking - as when someone gets distracted & really has to lay into it ... but still to the point where you'd really have to be on top of it, if the system failed.
I gave one of our friends a demonstration ... went back in .... played cards, and by the time we were on our way back home? Back to warnings "assist systems / cruise whatever not active. Oh well - it was kind of neat - although the experience was short lived.
He wants to go back to 2.50.180 so that he has basic CC. (Since with 2.50.185 he has nothing.)
Thanks for the explanation. Seems my inquiry got me a "thumbs down" from somebody -
tough crowd -
I thought the OP was primarily a thread regarding cars equipped with the new hardware - but the complaints are because the upgrade is apparently requiring older cars features to go off line? Hope that question doesn't get me another thumbs down. How many dislikes do we get before we're kicked off or banned or what ever.
