Why the same features are not used for the other functions like ACC?

ACC is a great feature, especially when you have to drive after a car in front of you at a moderate speed.

When you approach a roundabout, the car breaks, following the car in front of you, but when the other car enters the roundabout is not visible anymore by the radar and therefore it starts accelerating stupidly.

I believe there is a lot BMW could do to improve these systems.
If you are relying on the ACC to brake the car into a roundabout and then accelerate it out at the exit rather than you taking control, you are an accident waiting to happen. That's not what it's supposed to be used for. I suggest you use a taxi instead so you don't have worry about steering either.
