How Does ADAS Perform in Traffic with the Polestar 3

[Triss_Merigold]

Hi everyone, I’m curious about the ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) in the Polestar 3, especially how it handles stop-and-go traffic. My current experience is with an Audi Q7 (2017), where the system performs well, it stops completely and resumes movement smoothly. However, if the stop lasts more than 3 seconds, I have to intervene by tapping the gas pedal or using the control stalk.

For those of you who’ve used the ADAS in the Polestar 3, does it handle traffic similarly? Can it resume movement automatically after longer stops, or is manual input required? Also, how smooth is the braking and acceleration in these situations?

Just tested this last week during rush hour, and ADAS on the Polestar 3 works well for stop-and-go traffic. It’ll stop fully and resume automatically if the pause is brief. For longer stops, you do need to tap the accelerator or press the resume button, but it feels seamless. The braking and acceleration are surprisingly smooth, with no harsh jolts or delays. It’s not a hands-free solution, but it’s pretty close to perfect for heavy traffic. It takes getting used to. So try to find a safe time to try it.

The ADAS in the Polestar 3 can handle stop-and-go traffic smoothly, and it does resume automatically after longer stops without needing manual input.

The braking and acceleration are generally smooth, similar to what you'd experience in high-end systems like Audi's.
