The one area where I don't feel it's currently quite right is the city safe system that applies the brakes if it thinks you're heading for an obstacle (even though you're aware of it and you plan to steer round it) - the sudden application of the brakes is a potential hazard.

Very true. I even noticed it occasionally reacting to cars parked on the side of the road (quite common on narrow village roads in rural France..) Thankfully, never (yet..) applied full brakes for me- but collision warning popped up every time and in a handful of cases the power was cut off with mild-force brake correction.. It was always on dry roads, luckily, but I have given it some thought.. In spite this- I trust the collision avoidance more than I do the PA2.. CA is always on, whereas I use PA2 only when I’m fully rested, had a good dose of caffeine and trust there’s a slim chance of me failing to notice PA2 going off.. which is when I need it least..
