Driver Assistance During Bad Weather
I was driving today in some pretty heavy rain and had the car report that it was shutting down the pedestrian detection feature. I've seen this before in heavy rain, so it was nothing new. However, it also then reported it was shutting down collision warning - never saw this before. A few minutes later, I toggled collision warning on/off on the driver assistance switch panel to see if it would re-engaged. The first time it said it couldn't be activated. The second time it engaged.
I'm pretty sure the pedestrian detection is just camera based, so poor visibility would make sense. However, I thought the collision warning system was based on the radar sensors also used for the active cruise control... which I know can be affected by bad weather, but I hadn't ever seen it before. So, just curious if anyone has any insight or experiences with when your "nanny systems" have operated or not in bad weather.

To be honest; in bad weather conditions, I'd rather turn them off anyway and take full control myself...
