I have owned my ZSEV Mk1 since September 2020 and still love the drive.
I took it to my Service Dealer - Chorley Motors MG in Burnley last week for its second service and as always, they did a superb job.
On collecting the car, I asked if there where any updates and they said - "yes they had done an infotainment centre update and everything else was OK".
I had to re-program my radio presets etc. which was normal after an update like that but looking through all the system menus etc., I couldn't see any changes at all to any of the other system settings.
Yesterday, I was driving around 15 mph through a narrow street when a car coming from the opposite direction pulled out in front of a parked car and WHAM! my emergency brakes activated and stopped me instantly.
Ok that is what it is designed too do, but in all the time I have had the car, I have never ever experienced the emergency braking coming in, only the "beeping" sound alert in similar circumstances.
Since the new infotainment update, I have noticed the "beeping" sound to alert the driver to brake has certainly improved and is now more frequent even though the setting is at "Normal" in the menu and for the first time my car actually activated an emergency stop which I have never experienced before.
I have found a couple of posts on the forum where members have said they too had never experienced the cars emergency breaking activating and like mine only a "beeping" alert was ever given, but whatever has been done, it certainly works now!
