does the ADAS & CAM actually work?

So what about a splotch on the windshield, a plastic bag floating in the air, a sheet of rain, or a clump of fog and so on. You can take the Tesla route, which is to load up on cameras and neural compute in the trunk, and try to identify every object you see to attempt to divine its relevance and intent...and still fail when you see a plastic bag. Or plop on some lidars to get high accuracy, but sparser and slower data.

Fundamentally though, grenadiers are limited because they have one camera, and it's not even stereoscopic. The only way to know how far something is, is to know what it is and how large large it's supposed to be. This is a reasonably constrained problem when you talk about humans and cars and trucks. When you expand this, you very quickly end up down the Tesla rabbit hole and wish you could fit more GPUs in the trunk.

Not disagreeing with you at all, this is why either they will have to get more complicated soon enough or they won't be selling in 29.... This topic was kinda cool to deep dive a bit, honestly for what it costs the consumer the amount of "safety" compared to costs doesn't really seem like it was the best choice to make this mandatory. But I guess today's world is different were engineering human common sense out is the direction we are going. lol

I have never had any AEB type warning or interaction driving this car. Nothing.
I had plenty in other cars (owned and borrowed) that had collision avoidance systems, telling me to brake, or braking for me.

Dang Tailgate much? Or false alerts?

The cam works fine in the UK with speed signs. The database is relatively weak in the UK (at least in my area), and often you need to wait for the next sign for it to be corrected.

Maybe your camera isn't calibrated if both sign reading and AEB is not working?

My camera never read speed sign until the Feb. 2024 update. After that it read the signs and adjusts the display icon. However, I have noticed that if the speed limit sign differs from the internal database, and signs are posted infrequently, the system will default to the database speed after 5-10 seconds.
