The majority of our main roads are 2-lanes/side dual carriageway with a wide median for cars entering or leaving the road.
Vehicles can turn alongside you from the left (if you're in the outside lane), and from the right (if you are in the inside lane). These are perfectly normal situations and can happen multiple times in any single outing.
It is also a perfectly normal situation to have vehicles turning right onto dual-carriageway roads from the right, to cross to the median to wait for a gap in the traffic.
It should, and has been, OK to use TACC and Lane Following on these major roads.
Over the last 2 or 3 months, the car's collision avoidance has been wrongly interpreting these everyday situations as threats and suddenly decelerating and sounding it's loud klaxon warning.
If a collision were imminent, the deceleration is way too late and would ensure a collision. There's the added real risk of being hit from behind.
The behaviour is scary for the driver and passengers and I'm really frustrated by it.
