A couple dumb questions/thoughts regarding these systems. More for discussion than anything...


1) I had a co-worker with driver assist. The car jammed on it's brakes after a shopping bag was flipped out from under another car towards the camera. Maybe it's safer in the long run, but does it increase risk of getting rear-ended by a following car who's not expecting you to hit the brakes?


2) Are these systems defeatable, like during an autocross? In other words, does the system get activated by driving closer to the cones than the car thinks is safe? (Maybe more relevant to VW, where the camera is down low.)
