I was chatting with a friend who runs a haulage company recently. Some of their new trucks come with auto-braking features. He told me they had to have this disabled. The truck would be driving along in the slow lane on a motorway minding its own business, and suddenly a car would dive across the front of the truck from the fast lane, aiming for an exit. The truck would go to maximum auto-brake, trying to avoid a collision that wasn't going to happen, even though the car was crossing only a few feet in front. Not only dangerous for the manual truck behind, but it caused too much damaged cargo and corresponding insurance claims. Apparently car drivers do this all the time. Anyway, I thought it was interesting that the correct action here was to not auto-brake in some situations that were clearly dangerous.
