Front Assist. I must admit it's a bit of a gimmick. Yes technically it will help save you from a rear shunt however everytime mine has kicked in (3-4 times) it's been unnecessary.
I've noticed it always kicks in when a car is turning left and you cruise along knowing the car will be out the way by time you reach it but the front assist thinks you're about to ram the car off the road & swiftly slams the brakes on.
It's a new system so will hopefully improve over time. It is a good system though. But again it will save you from potential dangers the same way that walking around in a bio suit every day will protect you against any possible biological attacks. It will often make you look silly and rarely do what it's intended for.
