You can turn the wheel of a vehicle without being stopped. People change lanes at speed on the highway every day. Please try to assume good faith. "Turn" does not always imply a 90 degree turn with a full stop prior. I am not approaching cars at speed while they are stopping to make a 90 degree turn...

Changing lanes is called changing lanes, not turning. They're inherently different maneuvers. Either way, if you are rapidly closing the distance to a car which is changing lanes, you don't know for certain they won't cancel the maneuver and go back to being in the lane. You're still assuming that, and assuming you'll be able to slow or stop fast enough to handle it. If your AEB is constantly getting "false" alarms, maybe it is not the AEB that needs adjustment. Maybe driving in a fashion where the car's AEB doesn't constantly give "false" alarms would be a lot safer.

  It is by no means a constant occurrence. I've edited my original comment to disclaim this as you seem unable to assume good faith about any of this. It has happened only twice, both times with a fairly wide margin where human intervention could have occurred should it have been needed (it wasn't). Changing lanes is a type of turn because you _turn_ the wheel to change lanes. You also might turn 45 degrees in a roundabout, or 90 degrees at a stoplight. They are all turns. I'd agree that it's an assumption. Though your assumption that the distance is closed _rapidly_ is also just that - an assumption, and one made in bad faith despite my efforts to correct it. The mere act of being in a car on the road involves dozens of assumptions made every single minute about the traffic conditions. Very little is known for certain, ALL maneuvers are to some extent based on assumptions. This conversation is no longer productive, thanks for your participation anyway though.
