The G70 is an amazing car. The added safety features make me feel safe and confident in vehicle i purchased.

The collision detection on the 2019 Genesis G70 actually worked in a real situation

A narrow escape (possibly)

Was just about to post this! Pretty dang cool.

I always wonder if it'll actually work... in the week and a half I've had the car I've only had the forward collision warning beep at me once.

Steers into the other lane? Not sure if I like that aspect of the collision avoidance. That can cause more problems than just rear ending someone

I never heard of that before. Not sure it happened that way from what I've seen. He may have steered and did not realize what he did.

Correct, he likely applied steering at the last second. The car won't take evasive steering action. In fact, if there's any driver input at all (steering, throttle, or braking are applied by the driver), the FCA system aborts the braking sequence.

Not so simple. If the driver depress the brake but the car "estimates" that the braking power applied by the driver is not enough it will apply more braking power. If the driver moves the steering wheel or depress the gas pedal sharply it will deactivate the FCA.

This is from the Owners Manual

Brake operation
• In an urgent situation, the braking system enters into the ready status for prompt reaction against the driver’s depressing the brake pedal.
• The FCA provides additional braking power for optimum braking performance, when the driver depresses the brake pedal.
• The braking control is automatically deactivated, when the driver sharply depresses the accelerator pedal, or when the driver abruptly operates the steering wheel.
• The FCA braking control is automatically canceled, when risk factors disappear.

If you've not seen it yet, this shows how it works. Empty car convoy.

Anyone else catch the "LKA Modified not to turn off" in the video? I need to know how to do this. That means your car could basically autopilot itself with SCC and LKA

This a is a very old video. Weird nobody "tried this at home" ?

I went to the morgue and paid $5 for a cadaver hand. Hang it from the wheel and you're golden.

You could just rest your pecker on the bottom as well. That’s why I prefer flat-bottomed steering wheels...LOL

Who said my pecker ever rests?

The FCA recently activated for me when I was approaching a car stopped at a Stop sign. I misjudged how long the driver would be stopped for and continued driving at approx 40-50 KMPH and the FCA activated right away, hard braking my car to a full stop. Was very abrupt but glad it worked !
