Description of the problem	I bought a vw atlas 2018 expecting the front assist feature, whereby if the suv detects an obstacle in its path, it will engage the brakes to stop the vehicle and avoid a collision. Unfortunately i am experiencing a situation where the feature could cause a collision. From conversations with vm service, the sensor that detects obstacles points from the grill, directly out, and parallel to the road. When driving on a down slope that levels out, the sensor will detect the road, and, assuming it is an obstacle, engage the brakes to stop the vehicle to avoid collision. At speeds >10mph, there is no detection. But, i discovered (multiple times) that entering traffic from a car park creates the down angle, and (because its is essential to drive slowly exiting a car park to fully observe the oncoming traffic) the speed whereby the feature engages and stops the suv. In multiple occasions this has stops us in incoming traffic, with the real possibility of a drivers side collision. I had started to disable the front assist feature but discovered this must be done on every trip, and of course (a) sometimes this is forgotten and (b) others driving the suv may not remember or even know. I feel that this feature (acknowledgedly a great safety feature when driving on a level road), is actually a potential collision hazard when driving in the conditions described above.
