A member here in Europe, at least not the US, had it but it is not available in the US yet from all reports.

I can also report a real automatic braking event today. Circumstance was slow departure from a light, suddenly half-way through the intersection, car in front of me brakes hard for some reason. Speed at that instance was maybe 10-15km/h. I brake hard and fast, but the X5 beat me by like 50-100ms, I could feel that braking was faster than just my action, plus the car symbol and alarms. Both would have stopped in time, I wasn't ultimately at risk of rear-ending the guy in front of me, but it was interesting to experience. The end result was full stop, but I don't know if the car took me there or my action did.
What I did find annoying (but better safe than sorry) is that either the car or I accidentally ended up in Neutral and it took a bunch of tries with the brake pedal and the gear shift and its side button combinations to get back into D, in the middle of the intersection with traffic all around. I need more practice getting out of neutral in this car, LOL.

But having trouble getting it back in drive is concerning. Did you try restarting the car? I’ve had that problem when a door is ajar. It won’t go into either drive or reverse and just keeps popping back into park. I finally figured it out, but was one of your doors possibly ajar? I wouldn’t think so, in your situation. Maybe a car in front was still too close and the alert system wouldn’t let it go forward? It would be good to figure this out. |

The car in front of me that caused all this was long gone, I had no traffic at the front and A LOT of annoyed traffic behind me.

The car does not auto brake in this circumstance because it is not designed to do that. Which means that you cannot rely on it stopping you from hitting anything when parking the car. Other cars/brands do have that feature but not in our case.

This doesn't make sense at all. Have you performed auto parking? It stops the car switches gears and steers.. Mine auto stopped me from hitting a curb while parking already. Perhaps it was due to my auto hold being engaged??? Got to a speed at which it just went into it?? If you watch the You tube videos it shows it stopping before impact during parking as well... Guess I'm lost as how mine did it, maybe certain situation?

I may miss that. Our Q7 brakes - hard - if it detects something to the rear backing up that you don't notice and continue backing. Works for cars, bikes and pedestrians. I thought I had hit something the first time it happened, but it actually works.

We are planning to take a long road trip soon and I bought temp PPF stuff that rolls on for the trip. I’ll be working on that later this week. I’m hoping that will prevent dings from highway and road debris, plus i won’t feel the need to wash it every day, since I probably won’t be able to do that. I’ll report the results in a couple of weeks! |

With that said, it is a horrible design. If they did it for reversing, they should have implemented it for going forward as well with options to disable either one if the driver wants. To be fair though, with all the available camera angles, visuals, beeping, etc, as long as you know it will not stop for you, there is no reason to bump into things. |

I experienced some braking intervention/help for the first time today. On the freeway and there was some ill-advised lane changes going on in front of the car in front of me, causing him to hit the brakes. I was already braking a bit (anticipating that there would be trouble) and suddenly felt the brakes get a helping hand with a couple of pulses. I also got the red car on the dash and the HUD (there my have also been some beeping).
As I was already braking and ready to apply more, I don't feel like I needed the help, but I guess I'm happy the feature showed itself. I'm still on 11/2018.57. |
