What 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS580 owners say
Driver assistance
I was traveling at 10 mph on a two lane road in clear conditions at 4 p.m. A single car was parked legally ahead on the right and there was a single safety cone present, off the road (on the shoulder) and further ahead on the left. The road was perfectly clear for driving. Without any warning, visual or sound, the autonomous emergency braking system fully engaged and brought the car to a dead stop. The driver information system reported nothing. There was no car behind and no collision occurred. It has left a concern that the autonomous breaking system could be triggered erroneously in the future.
The incident occurred because the driver's Benz's detection sensor encountered a bug, leading to potential harm to the car occupants. I discovered this bug myself, yet Mercedes-Benz has not compensated me for the issue. I am currently pursuing resolution for this situation.
