Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) can be dangerous, but these systems are being put into cars with the flimsiest data to support them.
No serious trial has been performed to test whether the benefits outweigh the risks.

No serious trial (or any trial). What they describe is an observational study where they compare the same make or model with different levels of safety equipment. The obvious confounding is that they're comparing people who care enough about safety that they are willing to pay for additional safety features, compared with people that are not willing to pay. There's a reason we have double blind randomized controlled trials in medicine. The alternatives just don't work.
