Nope, no car assisting. It's purely learning how to control the regen braking. For the few times I have misjudged it, I had to use the friction brakes. And that is usually the last 10 MPH or so.
Now with the latest software update issued by Tesla, they have introduced a feature where it will automatically blend in the friction brakes when regeneration braking will be limited in order to maintain single pedal driving. The two situations regeneration braking will be limited is if charged to 100%( electricity has nowhere to go if the battery is already maxed out) and the battery is too cold in the winter to accept the amount of electricity being produced by regeneration. The battery being too cold can be mitigated by preconditioning the car before leaving the house( car will warm and cabin and battery up using house power) or have the car charge right before you leave( charging the battery will naturally warm it up). By doing that mitigation, I haven't had issues with regen braking this winter and was still strong enough to stop the car.
