Do we have a thread on real-world experience with SCBS/SBS activation on the CX-5?
Following examples apply to the US & similar road system only: I'm particularly interested in situations where an oncoming vehicle, stopped on green waiting for a gap to make a left, suddenly decides to jump on your CX-5 head-on. Or, vehicle from side street waiting to make a right suddenly decides to disregard your right of way.
Basically I'm curious how well SCBS can handle SUDDEN emergence of an obstacle. In all demo videos, or my once-only SCBS experience (where I was following too close a vehicle in front that had slowed down at a parking entrance), the obstacles didn't change path, so the "forward obstacle distance" detected by the radar would have decreased gradually, making the job easier. For unexpected obstacles, I'm wondering how much lead time SCBS requires in order to function properly.
Please share your story.
