My 2017 Volvo just warns me if there's a parked car in a curve, never had it brake automatically for parked cars no matter the scenario, so I guess it's just that BMW's system wasn't quite there yet at the time...

Ah true, yeah I test drove a polestar and a Hyundai ioniq 5 before deciding to go with the bmw and they both worked a lot better, but were also way more expensive since they were new and the bmw was second hand 😅

Unfortunately there weren't any second hand phev volvos available in my area at the time.

My car had a recall on it for braking too much. Probably a software issue that can be fixed, or has been fixed in newer models.
