Ahhhh...thx
i ordered mine with the assistance package, hopefully it works well and is worth the $$. I had a rental a few weeks back on a biz trip and it had this but was a toyota and the car ping-ponged against each lane marker until one time it missed it and veered all the way into the next lane. The cars behind me probably thought I was drunk but I wanted to see how the car responded and it was horrible!
with the Audi DAP, when you’re in traffic jam mode and the car comes to a stop, how long can you remain stopped until the system deactivated itself? Only time I imagine myself using it is in bumper to bumper rush hour with many stops on my route.

Automatic Go is disabled after about 3 seconds of no movement. After that you have to hit the stalk or tap the pedal, but I have noticed the car tries its hardest not to come to a complete stop lol - it will inch forward super slow if possible .

thats not too bad. How’s the steering? Keep it in the lanes with minimal/no intervention?

It's not perfect, but it does a decent job of keeping the car in the lane. I find I use the system a lot, but sometimes I will turn off the steering assist and let the car keep the proper distance from the car ahead of me.

Yeah the lane keep is less well implemented, I find that it will lose the markings on the road every now and then for no reason. I very rarely use that feature but the ACC is a big help in rush hour traffic.

I think the stop & go function of traffic jam assist works great. I can go for miles without touching the brakes and only tapping the accelerator if stopped for more then 3 seconds.

It’s driver “assist”, not autonomous driving. You can’t keep your hands off the steering wheel for more than 15 seconds.

When the washer fluid gets low enough to show the dash warning, it stops washing the headlights, presumably to save what's left for keeping the windscreen clear as a priority. Neat.

Coming from a BMW 428i, there are many things about the Audi I prefer. The tech is generally more intuitive to me.
But, the first thing I thought of is the "one push" of the stop/start button to turn off. This was 2 pushes in the BMW - one to turn off the engine and one to turn off the ignition. Of course, I'm not fussed about pushing twice - it's just the number of times I restarted the BMW without meaning to. The Audi system just works better.
Honestly, though, I wish they'd use a rotating **** shaped like a key instead of a button. Keep the key-free access, but turn on and start by turning a **** to the right and switch off by turning to the left. That would be far more intuitive for oldies like me. BTW, I understand this is the way Porshe do it.
