I drive in a mixture of town & country so with some of the streets around town being just wide enough to park outside the houses with a narrowish strip in the middle, a kid or animal could pop out from between the cars without warning, so this would come in useful.

 

You may want to look into it in more detail, I don't think the primary purpose of Front Assist is to watch for child/animal sized objects. It's mainly for other traffic.

Hey if we all had the same view on options we would probably all end up driving round in exactly the same spec / same colour cars.

 

Each to their own, enjoy the new car when it comes and don't worry about something you nearly ordered or did order but don't end up using !!

I'm hoping it's superfluous & I won't need to call on it at all actually, it's there as a little bit of a backup/failsafe.
