I see a lot of comments in there in the lines of "it almost caused an accident!". Yeah, my AEB has misfired too, often when coming around a curve and it thinks I'm about to have a head on collision with the oncoming traffic even though we are both turning. Or when making u-turns with a car in front of me. But it's never caused me to get hit. And more importantly, if the other cars around me also had AEB, then they too would get triggered. Yeah, it's sometimes annoying when it misfires, but man, that one time it fired in a real situation definitely saved my life as I stopped inches from the car in front of me. I'd take the minor annoyance of misfires over a crash any day. Especially if everyone has it.

My AEB is overridden by an increase in throttle; even a small one. If (rarely) it misfires, it’s only pretensioning the brakes initially. That’s just getting the pedal firm and pads against the rotors, no braking force. A small bit of throttle, not even enough to speed up, is enough to tell it to cool it. No actual braking occurs. Anyone who’s losing control of their vehicle over that is already driving too close to the vehicle’s limits.

But how long do we have to wait for everyone around us to get AEB? 20 years? 30 years? In meantime, every time it misfires, we’re risking an accident. Yes, it’s an accident caused by the poor following distance of the car behind us, but the blame isn’t much of a consolation when there’s no guarantee you can walk away from the crash without an injury.
