"Anyways, my VW has assisted emergency braking. I've had opposite issues - water splashes across sensor and the car brakes for no good reason. Generally going through a large shallow puddle and moderate speed. Happened 2 or 3 times and now I disable when driving near the beach after rain."
Your "issue" is essentially the system being extra safe - similar to slowing down when a bunch of water hits your windshield. Seems highly appropriate to me.

You've done nothing to support that assertion. "MUCH better at assessing the situation and acting appropriately" doesn't compensate for 10x slower reaction time. Nor does it account for the high percentage of time that humans are paying attention to something besides driving. Machine systems don't get distracted, at least. We'll agree to disagree, but anticipate fully autonomous cars sooner rather than later. ;-)
