I was driving home tonight and I had the max distance adaptive cruise on at 60 mph and a family of deer ran out on the road about 75-100 yards in front of me. With seeing my headlights some of the deer stopped in the middle of the road. Without this system I am sure I would have had a cluster **** mess with my front end. My old and bad eyes suck and the system triggered in alerting me to quickly slam the brakes hard once the auto braking triggered. I was freaked out because I was just cruising along. I just narrowly missed hitting those deer by 5 ft.
Of course, I came to a complete stop and a couple of deer were just staring at me like I was the crazy one, lol. I'd be curious if others have had the same success with this system. I was always thinking it was intuitive for just vehicles or large barriers. I never knew it could prevent what I encountered.
