Re: Problems & Advantages of ADAS in the Honda City I will try to share my experiences with regards to your issues. I have a Kia Seltos GT Line DCT, I have not faced the issues which you have talked about. Quote:

But when the car moves or you change lanes, the car accelerates at a rate which is too fast for my liking, so much so that it made me panic a couple of times. Me and my father both find it a bit dangerous and expected a gradual acceleration. But the car simply tries to accelerate as fast as possible to the set speed |
In my Seltos there is an option to set the cruise control acceleration level. There are 4 levels, and I generally set it to lowest or second lowest level. This way it isn't too brisk. Check if you have it in Honda as well. Seltos even has the drive modes and turning the car in eco mode makes the acceleration even more gentle. Quote:

After talking to a couple of friends we came to the conclusion that maybe the camera can not comprehend the steep climb and it came to the decision that the car was about to crash into road itself |
I have used this feature for about 200 kms of my 2050 km run till now. I encountered only one instance of such steep climb and the emergency brake didn't kick in. Maybe it's because the SUV design of Seltos, and hence didn't think the road as an obstacle on the road. That said, I keep this feature off most of the times, and have just kept the audio warning ON.

When the car slows below 20kmph, the adaptive cruise control turns off and you have to set it again using the controls. But I don't remember hearing a beep once its gone off automatically. There might be a visual warning but you cant always be looking into the instrument cluster to notice it. |
That's strange. For me the adaptive cruise continues even if the front car stops for less than 5 secs and moves again. If it stops for more than 5 secs, then I get a chime with warning that the adaptive cruise is disabled, and to enable I need to either press accelerator or resume button on steering. This way I continue adaptive cruise usage even in cities. Quote:

If you try overtaking someone on single lane roads, you need to use the blinkers while you get out of the lane. But after the overtake when you try getting back into your lane, the lane departure will again send warning beeps and the steering vibrates. You must use the blinker even when getting back in your lane. |
This depends on how long you stay in overtaking lane. In my seltos if I come into overtaking lane and the right blinker is on, it gives me a 2 sec window AFTER the right blinker has turned off, until which it reads the new lane markings of the overtaking lane. If I cross under the 2 sec window, it allows me to cross without any warning, otherwise it does warn me, but the warning is subtle and resistance is less than other times if I try to go out of lane without using indicator. That said, it's always good to use the indicator even when you are entering your driving lane again.
