I definitely know it primes the brakes and attempts to intervene. I sometimes get it with parked cars on the corner.
With Emergency: I find it pretty good. Of course, you can see further than the radar... I don't get it with parked cars at all - but this may be the difference between the KAFAS2 Camera and the addition of the radar... The whole point is that it is a driver aid.

What is more impressive is that when it does trigger - you are very much still in control - as written (?) the BMW system will not bring you to a complete halt (except cruise+stop/go).

I think this is a no brainer - all cars should have it and will in the next few years. Many cars have a version with just the camera now days.

With Active Cruise: Drove across the harbour bridge and anzac bridge tonight - touched the throttle/brake twice including 3 lane changes. Most relaxing. (Though there is a human supervising automation issue here)
