Question about active cruise control

I finally had a chance to try out the active cruise control feature (5AT). At first it did not work, and i got the warning that it had been deactivated. I imagine this is the issue others have reported on related to direct sunlight. Not a great beginning. However a short while later the warning indicator went away and I gave it another try, and ultimately tried it on a short road trip for a total time of probably a couple of hours. I must say I am generally impressed by it. Worked quite well and never made me nervous. I am quite pleased to have gotten this feature on my X1.

So my question: it is not clear to me the degree to which this feature will hit the brakes should the need arise. If traffic were to come to a hard stop, will this feature bring my X1 to a hard stop as well? I am trying to understand the limits of it.

Thanks.
