Found this re the new Beemer.




safety features include Active Cruise Control (ACC) and Adaptive Headlights. The ACC restricts the car from travelling too close to the vehicle in front



That's going to upset BMW's core market isn't it!?!?!

What BMW fail to mention is the fact that the ACC doesn't work by simply stopping you driving too close to the car infront, but in true BMW style instead works by actually physically removing the car infront of you.



Here's a pic of it being tested on one of the BMW research and development vehicles
