Most of the comments in favour of this technology seem to be "It saved me from rear-ending someone because I wasn't concentrating". On the other hand comments against this technology are essentially "It had a false positive and almost killed me". As I'm capable of maintaining good following distance, riding to the conditions, braking correctly, and being aware of the traffic around me; I'll choose not to use this technology, thanks.

I have been rear-ended by another driver in a completely unavoidable situation (for me -- the other driver should've been paying attention; I saw the collision coming and honked but had nowhere to go). I've also been in an accident as a passenger in a Uber. My Uber driver rear ended someone. I screamed at him twice but by the time he reacted it was too late. I have never activated the emergency braking on my vehicle.
- trgn 3y agoSorry to hear about the accidents. One part makes me wondr (tangential to your stories). Has honking really ever prevented any accidents? I don't even know why a car needs a horn, 99% it's abused out of frustration, and I cannot Eben imagine what that magic 1% situation is that requires car to have a horn. Honest question.
