The system will compare the driver’s actions to the road conditions and will take note of rough roads and crosswinds. It’s intended to come on before a driver gets too tired so that he or she can safely find a safe location to pull over and rest up. The Attention Assist light is used as a recommendation for the driver to take a break from driving. As you continue to drive, the computer looks for telltale signs of tiredness, such as constant small corrections in the steering wheel. After a few minutes, the computer creates a profile for the driver while they are in their “alert” state. Whenever the engine is started, the computer looks at dozens of parameters to determine how the driver is operating the vehicle. One of the most recent developments in driver safety is called Attention Assist.Ĭreated by Mercedes-Benz, Attention Assist monitors the driver’s actions, looking for signs of fatigue. That’s why the auto industry is constantly evolving, coming up with new ways to keep the driver and the car’s occupants out of harm’s way. Needless to say, that gimmick of an option remains permanently disabled in my car.Drivers and passengers like being safe. Some other time this auto breaking thingy saw a non existent obstacle and stopped the car so hard I thought I actually hit something. I came to about an inch from that pillar when I hit the breaks myself. I was backing up into a pillar thinking car will most definitely stop by itself, well it did not. ![]() I do have activation points setup, but what does that have to do with side collision warning ? You're seeing a car in the panorama view coming at you from either side and your side collision starts beeping? It doesn't work like that for me either, because my car is never sticking out that much into the ongoing traffic, anyways.no idea.Īs far as that auto breaking is concerned, I tried testing this a while back, i actually wanted to show my wife how "intelligent" the car was. I am guessing you're referring to GPS activated panorama view? Yeah, that comes on for me too. No idea what you mean bout panoramic camera switching on automatically in your blind spots and how that relates to collision warning. Of course, someone can make the same argument you did, when you're are really at risk, multiple factors have to occur, stars have to align properly and so on and so forth and then it will work flawlessly and save your life. It didn't turn on when I was about get t-boned tho. Side collision however turned on once with zero traffic on my sides. I can pretty much make the front collision warning go off, just keep my pace, no breaking when a car in front of me stops abruptly and front collision will go off. I am pretty sure I understand it perfectly fine.įront collision engages time to time, side collision engaged once. You'll only know this if the conditions are met and you are actually at risk. It will warn you depending on the speed at which you are traveling and other factors. On other instances, car will intervene if the car is at risk of collision. When that's on screen, it warns without fail every single time. ![]() I have set my panoramic camera to come automatically in my regular blind spots. Not sure you understand how the side collision system works. Gotta give credit for the autonomous driving though (or whatever its called in BMW lingo). That includes the BS side collision warning, auto parking that takes forever to find a spot, emergency breaking, etc. Slightly off topic but, its embarrassing that BMW makes these "systems" available to purchase and they work maybe, and that's a BIG maybe 20% as advertised. It was completely random, out of nowhere, I was fully alert. In a year and a half of driving G30 i have seen it pop once. The system never triggered once while I fully expected it to. I was driving at 3am last week feeling very drowsy and tired after a long day and had to stop for a coffee and wake up a little. I ask because I don't think it's very reliable. As the title on this thread states How does attention assist work?
