Last I heard he was in jail for rear ending a cop while intoxicated (not the cop). The more a car does on it's own the better off we all are in my opinion. -Dave Walton On May 12, 2012, at 8:55 PM, relng...@aol.com wrote: ....One more reason to own an old Benz. If I stab the brakes to just miss a deer running in front of me I surely don't want the car to decide that I need to brake more. Too bad folks just can't take the time to learn to drive well instead of depending on the car to make up for their shortcomings... Piffle. Brake assist measures the speed of the brake application and decides if it's a panic stop and if so applies full braking. The instant the driver backs off the brakes revert to normal. MB did some kind of study and determined that few drivers apply the brakes hard enough in a panic situation. I am on my second BAS car and have felt it in action plenty of times. There are no down sides to it and my C300 will outbrake any of my former MBs.
