Yes. I prefer to have less regen (coasting) but I don't want to give up regen when I stop. My current car (Volt) switches to friction brakes too early if I am in "D" with less regen. Driving in "L" with max regen gives good one pedal driving but pedal modulation can be tricky (plus the brake lights don't activate until I actually press the brake). The Audi system should allow my to choose no/less regen and still get full regen (up to the 0.3g) without friction brakes. I don't fully understand the automatic features of the Audi braking system yet. I've heard it described in various articles and videos but its never been clear to me how it functions. I've also heard that it can use the camera system to help decide optimal braking. Do you have any good links to a description of how the system actually works?

Nice, I like the Volt, and wish GM would have put that VOLTEC system in other vehicles. Sad to hear there are going to cancel the program, but I guess the car was not the financial success GM needed it to be. I think either GM is going to surprise us soon with an EV program, or they are totally asleep at the wheel, and just counting on the trucks and suv's to keep them going? I hope it is the first option.

This article has braking system information and mentions the predictive efficiency assistant which includes the camera.

Any interest in seeing a video of an A8 with 186,000 miles being started after sitting in a warehaus
