The impact detection is just terrible. Constantly hits the brakes hard just because it thinks you’re going to have a collision but are no where near having a collision. For example: you are waiting in a slip lane to turn across 2 oncoming lanes to enter a side street and because the car in the far lane has not completely passed and you have started to move forward and just started to turn at about 5mph/8Kph in anticipation of the oncoming car to be passed well before you start to cross the lanes the Audi will break so hard that it rattles your spine. And the car behind that was going to follow you across the road almost slams into the back of you because it wasn’t expecting you to brake so hard for no reason. I hate it and wish I could turn it off permanently. I have to remember to turn it off every time I want to perform that particular manoeuvre or risk the car throwing me through the windshield. It certainly will be wearing out the seatbelt pretensioner.
Could you explain to me the further advantages of "night vision"? It seems to me that pedestrians are already protected by the systems I see in your video. In which cases could I have more security from "night vision"?
Night vision is always on even if your screen is not on it, when it detects heat signatures in the tree line before your eyes or headlights can even detect it, it'll automatically switch your cluster screen to night vision view and if that heat signature starts moving towards your car and you don't respond or slow down, the vehicle will take care of that for you. It can react in split seconds before your brain even has the time to grasp what's happening.
@No Name No Name yup, that is how it's supposed to work, but it doesnt consistently work as intended. You cannot rely on a system that is not consistent. It might save your life one day and kill you the next🤣🤣🤣
Oh my god. On the face of it the tech seems cool, problem is that it does not reliably work. Audi tech might as well be operated with a couple of nails and springs🤣🤣🤣
@No Name No Name I have had 18 Audi's. Loved them until the quality started to fall dramatically. Even after rejecting 2 A6's, I went on to the Q8, 2 of them. Promised I wouldn't have the same issues and waited 9 months for a replacement Q8. Within weeks, quality problems with the interior, followed by software, then mechanical problems. I have had my BMW for 14 months. Not one issue therefore, making Audi irrelevant;-)
@E S Your car does not offer ota updated like Tesla does which has fsd downloaded to all owners , can actually do left , right turns at the intersection, stop and go at the stop light etc. The screen software is way better and faster with amd hardware, and I prefer to have sentry mode , side cameras while driving, and even the cabin camera is useful. Audi is a cluttered mess with its traditional automaker design.

Just got my rs3 2 weeks ago. I notice the same thing if it thinks I am too close to the car in front. So my car is brake checking the car behind me?

Believe me, the Audi smart systems need as much help as they can get!

RS7 GOOD LOOKS Q8 BAD LOOKS... THANKS NEWSGODNEWSBOSS INVISIBLE
Alternatively, people could learn to drive properly.
one day 🥰
Im a fan boy

You sound like you have a vendetta against Audi. That's multiple comments from you now bashing it lol, therefore your opinion is sooo irrelevant.

Not as good as Tesla FSD.
Tesla looks like a boat gone wrong..will take an Audi all day long
