Mine has lane departure warning rather than an aid to keep you in the lane, which almost always works correctly, sometimes gets fooled by temporary roadworks where the old lane markings get burnt off. Never had brake assist kick in thankfully.
Another vote for BLIS, I thought it was a bit of a gimmick at first but have grown to like it. I keep the lane depart turned off as it’s constantly bleating at me, fairly narrow roads with white lines on them.
Adaptive cruise is good in traffic on the motorway, bit weird with the car doing the braking itself. You also get an annoying red light near the windscreen that gets itself confused sometimes and starts flashing to tell you to brake.
