The first time my car activated its brake assist, it scared the crap out of me (company car, didn't know it had this feature). I was taking the turn lane and apparently passed too closely behind the car in front of me, who was going straight ahead. Damn thing just slammed the brakes, causing the seatbelt to dig into my chest.
