Some of those close calls happened to me, so I had the dealer code it off, so ASS is off by default. I also never use ECO PRO mode, which re-enables ASS.
Screw the fuel economy/emissions. Safety is a lot more important. It's a solution to a small problem that brings bigger problems.

No doubt. When I'm at an intersection like that, I always tug the steering wheel or lift off the gas for a split second if the ASS is enabled.
