"Over-sensitive" or not, what's the actual harm in driving in a way that avoids triggering it?
When your driving safety system gives you feedback while driving, you have two choices:
- Learn from the system and modify your driving to be safer for yourself and those around you, or
- Ignore the system, describe it as "too sensitive," and disable it.
Before the driving safety system feedback, you might have been an unsafe driver out of ignorance. After the driving safety system feedback, you're choosing to be an unsafe driver willfully.

Sometimes I still trigger it when reversing towards obstacles though. It still prompts an eyeroll and a muttered curse. Not sure if that will ever go away, somebody else mentioned that it tends to treat bushes as solid objects. Not that I'm reversing over top of the bushes, but reversing _towards_ them should not be as big of a problem as the auto-brake would have the driver believe.
