Trucks are cut off in traffic extremely frequently. Some trucks do have auto braking and it getting triggered all the time from jerks on the road is a frequent complaint.
That said the NTSB has recommended it be mandatory.

Yeah, false positives would be a giant source of friction. Do you know what types of sensors the existing systems use?
- jdsully 8y agoNope no specific knowledge, just a decent amount of trucker griping. The stopping distance of trucks is much longer so the triggering distance on these devices must be correspondingly longer as well. A lot of cars don't even realize they cut off the truck because they can stop so much faster. A trucker can assume that a car cutting them off with open road in the front won't slam their brakes. These devices can't.
