For those who have the advance model....ever drive in NYC ?
I was in the city last week in my older MDX. Cars/people are constantly around you. Does the RDX just lose its mind with all the warnings and beeping the entire time your in the city or do you have to turn everything off ?
Hell , I noticed when I was driving around in the slush the other day, that my indicator that I was too close to an object was freaking out while at a stop sign. I assume it was just slush on the camera.

You can expect your radar dish to pick up nearly every pedestrian passing in front of you (unless it's covered in heavy slush, which deactivates the safety features depedent on the radar).

My current cars don't do that but they're camera-based systems so that could be the difference.

The beeps are direction-specific, so while driving forwards, only pedestrians in front will beep. Rear pedestrians don't beep if you are not in reverse. I forget the distance (manual should have it), usually cars in front won't trigger it unless you are really close to their bumper, but NYC pedestrians usually walk close enough to beep. My prior-gen MDX has a button to turn the beeps off. I think the RDX has it too so you could always quickly shut it off until you are in less congested areas.

I commute daily in my Advance RDX in NYC, drives fine (16 MPG during rush hour) but I usually have the distance nannies turned off since you have to drive a bit aggressive during rush hour in order to move down a block. If you leave a half length car gap between you and the car in front you're garuanteed to get cut off by a taxi/Uber/Lyft/typical BMW driver/some kid in a beat up ricer cutting in and out. Only thing that I've noticed which is probably going to be NYC specific is when you drive on a bridge and you have a 5G antenna pointed towards you from the rooftops of the buildings below, the system goes crazy and disables radar and all systems associated with it. It'll have 2/3 messages pop up on the dash telling you those systems disabled but it goes away and functions normally after you pass the trajectory of the 5G antennas.
