The ADAC in new cars varies so much in implementation. None of it can be trusted (like you said, the sign recognition is iften wrong) but as a backup reminder it can be great. eg: lane centring etc. If it feels like its seizing control from me it can be terrifying. eg: automatic braking out of the blue.
Couple of examples from just this last week: I was on a multi-lane road with a posted 60km/h speed limit, and the car was trying to tell the driver it was 40, and beeped at them whenever they went over it. Another one complained about crossing the centreline marking because we were going around parked cars and there was no choice. Thankfully the car didn’t seize control in those situations and just gave an audible warning, but if it had we’d have been in the pooh, especially that second one.
