Strange behavior from brake assist.

Or is it normal? Was backing out the alley when a person walked closely to the front of my car and it braked with a warning on the screen. The car couldn’t tell I was on reverse?

I know the RCCA system is supper intrusive when performing a three point turn. Always brakes for me when I don’t wan’t it to. Makes me look like a newb on the road who can’t perform a simple three point turn without braking a bunch of times.

Could it be the pedestrian was walking somewhere along the side of the car either before or after walking past the front of the car?

I couldn’t tell. i was stopping on the sidewalk waiting for traffic to clear behind while looking at the rear view camera and the right mirror. Maybe the pedestrian approached and go around to the front after I started moving. I only looked at the front after I felt the vibration on the steering wheel and felt the brake, then I saw him walking inches away from my left front toward the right.

Does it make any difference if he walked along the car before the front?

I was thinking if you back away trying to avoid a moving object toward your car, as the object gets closer your car will work against you. Is this something the engineers overlooked? I am sure the car knows if it‘s going forward or backward.

Sounds to me like like a typical RCCA braking scenario. It is more likely a car was either about to pass or just passed your rear sensors and triggered the braking. Especially if you were backing out from an alley into two-way traffic.

I was pretty sure it was clear behind me that was why I started moving but I could be wrong. But I can easily test this condition again having someone walk to the front while on reverse.
