There might be some bad implementations out there, but that is a problem with that implementation, not the technology. I've driven extensively with AEB in a 2015 Jeep Cherokee and it has been borderline faultless. And that's surprising because I have very low regard for anything made by Fiat/Chrysler, but whatever (presumably third party) tech they integrated, it has been rock solid. Over tens of thousands of kilometres it has never, ever had a true false positive. And the radar cruise has never, ever had a false negative. Very occasionally the AEB has "freaked out" unnecessarily; usually when I'm driving right into someone who is in the process of turning off the road. I know that they'll be out of my way in time for me to go past, so technically it's a false positive, but even then I'd give it to the car. I am driving dangerously. I am gambling that the turning driver doesn't brake suddenly before they complete their turn (I've also done a few thousand kilometers in a 2019 Subaru Forester with Eyesight—a purely vision-based system—and its adaptive cruise is even better than on the Jeep. It's less anxious on the brakes in response to movements by the cars ahead, and you can configure how eagerly it accelerates back up to set speed when the road clears.)
