My kind, caring, and jumpy GTI tried to save me from crashing in to a wall this morning by slamming on the brakes for me. Except it was a hedge, and I was never going to touch it.
Still. Thanks for trying!
In all seriousness though, this is an excellent safety feature, and could well save the life of a child you didn't spot running behind your car when coming out of a space. A pretty niche scenario, but it could happen!
