Braking- A Weird One

Thanks Mike

Lane assist will not steer you away from an accident...
I don't believe ACC will protect against side emerging object until they are physically in front of you.

You're right. The A6 doesn't do either of these things but the Q7 does.

I had that happen some months ago and found an answer:

"As it would happen, I was at the Paris motorshow the following week and bumped into Stephan Reil of Quattro Gmbh. I told him about the braking anomaly and he nodded his head: “To stop the feeling of having a long pedal when you are really working the brakes we fitted a booster which brings the pedal back up when it’s getting long – sometimes it can come back right to the top of the pedal travel.”"

So for some reason it happens that the booster can come on even when not working the brakes hard.
