You've never heard of collision detection priming the accelerator because it primes the brakes not the accelerator when it detects a potential collision. Its unrelated to me lifting my foot.
And I've definitely experienced it happen. I've lightly touched the brake pedal with AEB warnings going off and it really slammed on the brakes.
Either way I imagine neither of us has any hard numbers to actually back up either driving style. I'm just pointing out there's no lag to regen braking and in many cars it can be pretty heavy braking.
