Statistically it only helps people over the age 65.Don't turn it off. It happens rarely falsely, but one day it might save you from the trouble.

It always happens falsely for me. Not only that, if you're trying to turn into a lane, oncoming traffic could trigger it and if it's a tight merge the system will throttles your acceleration making the merge dangerous if there's a lot of traffic and you need the speed for a safe merge. Had mine on for a few months when I got the car before turning it off and never back on again.Don't turn it off. It happens rarely falsely, but one day it might save you from the trouble.
I suggest to talk with SC about it, because it's not a typical behaviour and I assume something is faulty with your car. Also, I don't think that situations you're talking about have anything to do with obstacle aware acceleration.It always happens falsely for me.

It also got in the way of passing on 2 lane rural roads.
Seriously, you go into the menu and turn of AEB every time you go on a rural road and then turn it back on when it gets more dense? What a pain and a silly amount of work.I turn off AEB anyways for those roads, so turning off OAA just for them would be fine. But since OAA is also occasionally problematic for merges in heavy traffic urban areas, I just leave it off always now.
That's interesting! I must be misremembering what happened, or I confused it with AEB. Probably confused it in the moment with AEB.
I agree. Would be nice if we could add custom homescreen shortcuts for settings we toggle often. Or if we could set them via the steering wheel controls (like we can some settings in our S). Since it requires digging through the menus I do it before starting down such roads.Seriously, you go into the menu and turn of AEB every time you go on a rural road and then turn it back on when it gets more dense?

I don't slide around on those roads. I probably wouldn't be alive to write this if I did. I use Track Mode on them for the extra strong regen.The thing is, I thought you were the one that always turned on Track Mode when you took a spirited drive because you are so skilled and like to slide around on the road. But AEB is turned off in track mode....
when we're talking 20 to 50+ mile stretches of twisty two lane road there will still be someone I want to pass, and I don't want AEB to interfere.
I agree with @Mash, it works fine for me.
By definition it should only trigger in 2 conditions:
- When you would have crashed
- Erroneously
So pretty much everyone who has experienced it (and certainly anyone complaining about it) has only seen it trigger in the latter case.
I only have 8K miles so far but the only time it happened to me was actually quite impressive: I kicked the pedal to the floor as the light turned green, confident that the speeding cross traffic to my left was stopping, albeit late. My car wasn't so confident though and it accelerated like an air cooled Volkswagen, gradually ramping up power as I held the pedal to the floor all the way thru the intersection. I was impressed that it saw the car nearly 90 degrees to my left and also by how well it ramped up power in a reasonable manner.
Sure, I could imagine a scenario where a runaway truck is coming up behind me and OAA won't let me plow over a baby stroller to get out of the way but I certainly believe the benefits of this feature, imperfect as it is, outweigh the drawbacks.
AEB triggers a loud alarm while OAA is silence with no alerts of any kind so that's one way to tell the difference.Then what was going on?! I'll try leaving those things on for such drives and see if/what happens again...
