The other day this symbol appeared suddenly, along with an audible alarm, and then it disappeared just as suddenly. I do not know if a car was coming out of a driveway, but there were otherwise no other vehicles visible on the road. I could find no articles about this specific symbol. Any clues what event this symbol is associated with?

Thx for the link. Given the facts of the day, that...

• no other cars being driven on the road I was on
• and driving along a somewhat narrow and winding bit of road
• and car parked on the side of the road, in a curved section of road
• and my front collision detection was set on 'early'

..I conclude that the system detected the car parked close alongside at a curve in the road.
Interesting that the observed icon was different from the one 'front collision detection' icon seen in a number of articles on the web.
I have changed the detection to 'medium' in the hopes of avoiding future false alarms.
