I have two vehicles with this system and they have never “violently taken control”. In most situations, the system gives an audible alert while pretension the brakes. If you react within the alert window you retain full control with the benefit of firm brakes (y’all ever remember getting soft brakes?). I don’t even want to know what situations I’d need to be in for my vehicle to actually emergency brake, but I don’t want to find out. It seems like I’m already going to be hitting something anyways so any speed it can bleed off is better.

Same here: Honda CR-V 2020. It uses single lens (so not a stereoscopic vision) and radar. Never did it brake hard, only warning and few times brake pretension. It will occasionally give false positives on a street curving left with cars parked on the right side. Once it did warn on a highway most likely due to metal comb joint of the elevated road section. (I specifically looked at what could be the cause) The driver reaction within a time window is likely important factor in preventing the system to elevate. I have good reflexes and will put my feet slightly on the brake in such situations. Honda had a recall for an older AEB system 2017-2019 Accord and CRV: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-recalls-defects/nhtsa-investigates-honda-unexpected-braking-complaints-a9281526240/ https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-recalls-defects/nht...

That's a fair contention: I've never personally driven a vehicle with such mechanism (perhaps owing to my economic inability to own such a device) I appreciate your informed opinion!
