Hi everyone!
I finally got the A3 down to southern California and back up north. So my first long distance drive with it. I must say that it fared quite well and was a pleasant drive. I enjoyed it quite a bit, minus one behavior I felt wasn't well tuned.
I5 is a super long straight line 2 lane (in each direction) highway with lots of large trucks driving up and down CA on it. It's very common that you'll be in the left lane passing large trucks driving in the right lane. Once I came up to the rear end of the truck, even though it's in the lane right of me, the car was hitting the brakes very abruptly and messing with people driving behind me, of course they were all tailing all the time, but that's for a different discussion.
I noticed that by driving slightly more to the left side of the left lane, I was able to avoid this behavior all together and I'll be the first to admit that I likely drive slightly shifted to the right to begin with. But I have other cars with safety braking features and they have never done this to me before. Do any of you run into this issue at all? I experience it pretty much every time a large truck is creeping in on the lane, but it feels too aggressive. I'm curious if there is something wrong with mine specifically or if this is par for the course with the way they tuned this system.
Thanks!
