My Volkswagen has assistance features which routinely fail on snowy days and can’t seem to be disabled. The best you can do is disable them for a minute (!) at which point they start blaring again. Its ironic because the time you need the most focus is the time the car lets you focus the least.

It can absolutely be disabled they just wouldn't get the same brownies points in EuroNCAP by allowing _you_ to disable it.

If I spent more than 50k on a car like that, I would absolutely return it and file a complaint.

Car companies care a great deal about after sales stats. This trend will continue because we as users on average tolerate it.

BMW has the same issue but luckily still buttons to disable them. Snow will quickly result in "Forward collision warning failure" and "Blind spot detection failure" and if more snow "Lane assist failure" because the sensors get covered in snow.

Oh and before you even start driving let us "bing!" you with a message that the temperature is below 4C. As if you didn't know that already.

Get yourself a VCDS cable & software and disable that shit for good.
