My XC90 shits the bed every time you come to a traffic calming island and don’t indicate around it. Even more so if there is a parked car behind it. And various other scenarios.
All these safety features are great in principle but in day to day driving are more of an annoyance and you end up switching them off. Lane departure assistance for example does not work (read: is too efficient)on country roads. The constant vibration through the wheel gets annoying after a while telling you you’re close to or crossing the line in the middle.
As above active cruise control you have got to set it short and make your manoeuvres in good time to ensure it doesn’t auto brake.
