AEB is great, and I'm super happy that it's going to be standard, but its not going to totally eliminate the rear-ending problem. From wikipedia [1]:
> Forward collision warning plus autobrake is associated to a 50% decrease in front to rear crashes.
Similar stats are reported from around the world.
Low friction surfaces, weird car angles, poor radar/camera visibility and too high entry speed all mean the system isn't going to be 100% effective.

It's a tesla so it started beeping but not until it was too late. No visible damage but that didn't stop the other driver from collecting insurance info and reporting it.
