Narrative

I was using ACC on the freeway when the car in front of me abruptly stopped. I felt the car decelerate, but it didn’t feel like the car was slowing enough. By the time I manually pressed the brakes my car skidded and hit the stopped car in front of me. There was a flashing light that happened right before I hit the car warning me to brake. I’m worried that my car’s friction brakes were not activated by ACC. I will be taking it to an autobody shop soon for repair.
