There is a difference between
- Collision detection (which activates when getting very close to vehicles) and is part of Driving Assistant in 2014 models. Only the light pops up and there is no braking.
- Adaptive Cruise control (which can be activated anywhere and is just like stop and go cruise control without any lane management) and comes with driving assistant plus. Light pops up and there is active braking. In my opinion it also gives much much better collision detection which is why I refuse to buy a car without ACC now. Especially here in Vancouver where tailgaiting in the norm.
Its not any different in Canadian vehicles than US vehicles (I have had both with ACC). Both my cars have been non-msport though.
