If you look at the braking tests the VW had one of the best braking capability - 2nd in dry braking and 1st in wet braking. Obviously that comes down to tyres also but if the target had been "seen" by the system I'm sure the Tiguan under test would have pulled up.
which is probably why ancap don’t test aeb...

manufacturers get points added to their score for having it, but ancap have no testing method. (despite the presence of the ancap-badged balloon in the article).
