Anyone else out there with a car that auto-brakes? I was driving in the fast lane at 60mph when this giant pickup flies by me like I'm parked, nearly clipping my side! My EV6 suddenly hit the brakes hard. Saved me for sure, but man, that was a jolt! Just curious if this is normal or if there's a way to adjust how sensitive the auto-brake is?
 
I know this is just a safety feature, but I'm concerned about potential unintended consequences. What happens if a sudden obstacle appears, like a ball rolling into the street? Could the system confuse it with a real collision risk? This is especially worrying with children on board.
