>Automatic braking alone is a huge deal
Except I had to turn it off for my Ford E-Transit, because it will freak out at nothing. Sometimes it screams at me for cars that aren't even in my lane that suddenly slowed. Sometimes it misjudges a ripple in the crappy asphalt here as an obstacle I'm going to hit. There is a high chance its going to brake for no reason at all and cause an accident.
I left the warning system on, but I will never give it control over the brakes.
- throw1234567891 25d agoGood news, everyone. Soon you won't be able to switch it off.
- Denatonium 25d agoI suspect this will just lead to people pulling the ABS fuse and losing ABS and ESC along with AEB.
- throw1234567891 24d agoI suspect people will just get on with it. They're defeating us by atrophy. Slowly, one by one.
- uuddlrlrbaba 25d agoFords seem notorious for this but usually can be fixed. Have you tried driving it to a dealership and trading it in?
- officeplant 25d agoMultiple times actually, lmao. Unfortunately its only worth $19,000 currently (sticker price of $67,000 three years ago)
- Loughla 25d agoAny time I crossed a bridge near me that is kind of steep and has a structure over it, the automatic braking engaged HARD. Like hard enough that I nearly caused accidents until I figured out how to turn it off. Not great.
- Gigachad 25d agoI wonder if there will be some extra liability if the driver kills someone and the logs show automatic braking would have engaged. Something similar happened near me where a lamborghini driver disabled traction control, spun out and killed a girl on the way to school. They had to add new laws increasing the liability if you disabled TC.
