    Do Audis have radar guided cruise control systems like Mercedes does?

    If that's the case, would it just block everything including the falsings?

    Very interesting a few weeks back I noticed that too with an S5. I was driving and noticed 2 strange K beeps on my Bel, I knew it was a false based off the way they sounded, sure enough I noticed a S5 in the left lane.
