Had first safety system actually activate yesterday!

We were driving to my brother's house for Easter yesterday and a Honda minivan in the lane to my left started veering into my lane. The X5 gently nudged me to the right and a message popped up on the IP indicating "Side Collision Avoidance Activated" (or something similar to that). Was pretty cool!

Although one thing that made me a little nervous was I was on active cruise control (just distance control) and a car in front started to slow down VERY rapidly. The X5 beeped a couple times, turned off the cruise control but didn't seem to auto-brake at all. I got no red warning in HUD or on the dashboard. Luckily I braked in time, but the car didn't seem to be doing anything to help prevent a collision except beep at me.
