Actually, I meant to respond to this sooner to tell you that the braking intervention only occurs at higher speeds. I think over 20mph or 40mph or more. It will not stop you from rolling you car into something else. It's intended for if the distance between the car in front of you and your car decreases at a quick rate and it feels a collision is imminent. I don't think it would work with a wall and it definitely won't work at slower speeds.

Also, it's not proven that it will stop you to a halt. It starts the breaking process for you so by the time you hit the breaks, it's already started.
