I don't have an automatic brake in my car, but a sensor that warns me when I'm about to crash into something. There has so far been a single incident where this was actually helpful. In >95% of the cases, it's false positives. I can only imagine what driving would be like if the car did indeed autonomously brake in those situations.

Same here, previous generation of bmw 5 series, the warnings happen often in non-standard but completely safe situations that human can easily assess (ie full parking lane starting on the right in lane that was driving one 50m before, with very clear signs and good visibility). Or in situation when I am already breaking ie to full stop hard with enough breaking room and it still pops up the warnings. Sometimes just warnings out of blue, in the middle of an empty road. Me and my family are very happy no automated breaking is integrated into that car, its current state would kill us sooner or later.
