The new DSC+ system (on six-cylinder models - standard DSC on four-cylinder models). Effectively an evolution of the familiar DSC traction control system, DSC+ offers a range of benefits, including Brake Standby that pre-tensions the brakes when the driver quickly removes the pressure from the accelerator pedal.
Soft Stop is also incorporated which modulates the brake application to prevent the nose of the car from 'diving' when traveling slowly.
Also included in DSC+ is a Start-Off Assistant that uses the clutch to prevent the car from rolling back on a hill-start and a brake detector that ensures the disc's are kept dry and responsive on wet roads.

HEY! It's a DRIVING machine...not a driven machine. 
Soon the accelerator will be intelligent and not allow flooring it if you are in stop and go traffic.
In the future radar will be standard and not just for cruise control then, when the car thinks you are following too closely, it brakes for you, or if you are approaching an object too quickly it brakes more than you already are.
If you are driving too fast in the rain or icy conditions determined by sensors and the wipers, it rev limits the engine to keep the speed down. :thumbsdown:
Safety is important but those are 'features' not requirements. Make them an option to order on the car for the elderly doctor or lawyer.
