    The RAB activated one time and I thought I hit something backing into something, got out of the car, inspected the car and surroundings - holy moly RAB was aggresive!

    I think the blind spot monitors are using the rear sensors. I think it calculates the relative speed of the car behind vs. your speed, I had them flashing early when a car was approaching very fast.

      I imagine that’s right! And I’ve noticed the same thing. Slow vs. fast approaching vehicles triggers the system at a different distance, that’s pretty cool!

    I was backing out of the kindergarten parking lot at my son's school and the RAB slammed to a stop because of a tiny, flat, cement gutter. Turned it off forever and never looked back.

      @AutomotiveAnonymous208  7 месяцев назад +3

      That doesn’t sound fun! Mine hasn’t gone off very many times, but each time I did I understand the reason why, even if I knew how I was backing up wasn’t in line to bump something. But I’d say the couple times it was legit I’m grateful for. I’ve never tried to turn it off so thank you for sharing that it stays off! 🙂

    In my 2024 Forester Wilderness, I've noticed in higher crosswinds the lane assist struggles and at times the car is over the center or side line. I'd suggest not using it with any fairly windy conditions. Also, if there is any road kill, thunk .... thunk, it will run right over it.

    • @AutomotiveAnonymous208

      Nice! Do they seem to work well and be a very mature system in your Audi? Obviously not every system is created equal between manufacturers. I know some of these systems are better in other cars or brands, and obviously others are worse. But in general it seems like the newer the vehicle the better tuned the system is. 🙂

    I heard the adaptive cruise control with steering assist is not hands off the wheel but helps keep you in the lane while you still need to keep your hands on it. My 2024 touring XT will alert you if you don't keep your hands on the wheel. And I have the 3 camera setup

    • @AutomotiveAnonymous208

    I bought a new Outback in May 2023 and the RAB stopped me twice while backing out of my driveway. I talked to the dealer and showed them a video when it happened. They said that the angle of my driveway makes the RAB system kick in because it thinks I am about to hit something. They said to back out slowly and at a slight angle. Never had it happen since.

      Yeah, most of them can be turned off! But when the weather is bad enough like thick fog or heavy rain eventually the system will turn itself off until it thinks it can sense the road again. 🙂

    I did love my Subaru, But it was too much of a LEMON 🍋 to keep.
    So now someone else is enjoying it breaking down Constantly.
    My 23 Tacoma isn’t as advanced in technology as my Forester Touring 🍋, but that means there’s less to go wrong.
    I LOVE my Tacoma TRD Off Road, which with all of the options, it’s a Limited with the TRD Off Road pkg.
    I’m quite sure that my Tacoma will be the last vehicle that I’ll ever have to own, which is what I was hoping from my Forester 🍋 was supposed to be.

      Yeah that engine is great in the Hylander and other SUVs as people haulers, but for what people put their trucks through is totally different.
      A friend of mine and I are taking our Tacoma’s over a rough dirt road from Wenatchee to Ellensburg this summer and 4 of us are going on a different more rugged road over Blewett Pass this summer as well.
      We will NOT be abusing our Taco’s, so if you’d like to join us in your Wilderness, you’re more than welcome to join us. Yes our wives and will be joining us.
      They’ll just be day trips.
      Nothing too hard. I’m sure you’re Subie can handle it.

    I love Subarus and I'll probably end up getting one when the insanity dies down, but I have to say something about all these safety features. I'm 66. Anybody my age will know where I'm coming from. All of this safety stuff everywhere we go is going to do the same to us as spell checker and grammar check on Microsoft Word. It's going to make us stupid and incapable of doing anything without checking, "The Machine." If we are so dependent on everything except our own brain and capabilities then we are going to be in serious serious trouble in the near future. I'm already seeing it everywhere.

    My wifes Outback is the most intrusive vehicle I've ever driven and I have a modern truck as well. The slamming on of brakes while reversing is absolutely absurd. Bike rack on the car? Forget about it. And the biggest problem with that is that turning it off isn't easily found because it, along with many other functions are buried deep in the menus (massive center screen with no physical buttons) not user friendly whatsoever

      Some of those features have on screen shortcuts to turn them off or on when you are in that mode. Like backing up and the rear camera is on, there are on screen buttons to turn off the RAB when you say have a bike rack with bikes on the back. But to turn it off before you go into reverse, yes it is deep in the settings menu.

    • @79random
      @79random 2 месяца назад

      @jefferycampbell9182 yeah, that particular experience was the 1st time driving with the rack on and she wasn't there. It's her car so she set it up how she wants it. The old man in me much prefers dedicated buttons and less intrusion.
