Yes, it will. If someone isn't paying attention then they will T-bone you when they drive a car without automatic braking and will not when they drive a car with automatic braking.

I see, in that sense yes. If the tboners car has autobraking, it can help. I read it initially as the tbonees car having autobraking, which won't help at all (since there is nothing in front of the tbonees car at any moment for it to sense). Although, I'm dubious there would be enough time in that scenario to help much. The typical case is someone running a red light and intersecting a car from the other direction, both going full speed. By the time the tbonee car enters the field of the tboner car front sensors they are very close and less than a second from impact. So it'd reduce speed a bit which is good, but won't prevent the hit. An attentive driver on the other hand, can see far wider than the sensors and has more opportunity to avoid the incident entirely. If paying attention, of course.

I doubt automatic braking would help a t-bone situation. Do you have evidence of this? Meanwhile, any driver worth his salt should be checking cross traffic when nearing any intersection. I've avoided several accidents by examining potential cross traffic at intersections. Accident avoidance should be drivers ed 101, but for some reason, especially in these conversations, no one seems to know how to look for and avoid potential accidents.

Autobreaking typically only cares about what is in front of the car correct? There are possible scenarios where an attentive driver may opt for a frontal collision to avoid a T-bone that could kill them. There are arguments to be made both ways, but there definitely isn't a clear solution.
