Yes, the alert/red triangle appeared and the car braked from what I recall ...things happen so fast. I was just starting my move to the right lane, so part of the car nose was partially unobstructed by the truck in front, so it didn’t hardcore slam on the brakes. But enough to where you hear the grind on the rotors. I believe I have presense set to late. I’ll check later and if it’s different, I’ll update.

My drive-way is perpendicular to a busy street and a few days ago, while a started to backup the car jerked with a strange grinding noise so I stopped immediately. I didn't know what happened but I was hoping it was not pre sense. This afternoon, the same thing happened. I was still like 10 feet from the street!!! How could I backup normally toward the street with such a system? I got the car 2 weeks ago and I'm now very disappointed.

Another thing is maybe try backing into your driveway instead so you can pull out head first? You'll have to change your driving style to accommodate these haphazard "predictive safety features" unfortunately.
Audi sets their back up system extremely sensitive as if they assume people just back up blindly without looking. How did people back up before all these fancy technologies? SMH.

It's rear cross traffic, one of the most annoying features. I feel your pain but I have no tips on how to prevent it aside from disconnecting the two radar sensors hidden behind the rear bumper. But you will also lose side assist and Pre-sense rear by doing that. Some people say if your foot is on the brake it won't happen, but how can my foot be on the brake at all times when I want to back up? Makes no sense.

At least, I'm not alone hating this feature. Thanks!
