Nearly 60 reports so far: Tesla Firmware Upgrade Tracker Web App
I got it on Wednesday within hours of the first report. Previous to that, I was on 17.11.3 for 23 days.
17.11.45 - 27/4/17 11:22 AM
17.11.3 - 29/3/17 08:13 PM
Above are install times. Both were downloaded around 11pm the previous evening.
There is no "possibly not in time" the way AEB is currently designed. It doesn't do anything until it thinks a collision is completely unavoidable. Then it hits the brakes to try to slow down by 25 MPH before releasing the brakes.
Are you sure?
The feeling I've gotten from various discussions on the topic for assorted cars is that AEB won't trigger until a collision is almost guaranteed but it generally stops in time in good conditions- with instructions that all look like the Tesla ones, presumably so people don't count on it or sue.
But I don't know that for a fact, so if you know something more about the Tesla implementation I'd be happy to listen.

I haven't experienced it, but Tesla has said that at some point in the future they would like it to be able to do more than just reduce the collision by 25 MPH, but I haven't seen them announce that change.
That sensor is likely the solar radiation intensity sensor that tells the AC how much warmer the occupants feel than just the air temp. It's really just an IR sensor. Lots of cars have these. Nothing to do with AP or the cameras.

mistuhchia, Today at 12:58 PM Has anyone else gotten the Auto Emergency braking update? I'm still on 17.11.3 and haven't gotten any update for over a month
I received 11.3 about 30 March. Nothing since then until last night (27 April) when 11.45 showed up with AEB. So it is still rolling out.

Apparently this isn't really AEB, and is only partial AEB that functions up to 28mph.
Tesla must complete brake fix to regain top safety rating: Consumer Reports
I didn't see this mentioned anywhere when it was released.

Well people won't have to worry about accidental highway AEB activation!
I'm disappointed. This is a material fact that is morally improper to withhold from owners.
Just put 28mph in the release notes. Its insane this wasn't included or mentioned anywhere, especially the Tesla Press Releases they sent out to counter Consumer Reports. One day! Ha!
I know right? I would've expected at least a few "the car strangled me as I went under a shadowy overpass" threads by now...I see someone edited their comment to be less harsh.
But, yeah it's extremely disappointing that they weren't straight forwards about it. It's not like all the other rollouts didn't start conservatively as well. So it would have surprised no one.
See, by staging AEB at 28 MPH, then 35 MPH, then 45 MPH, then 55 MPH, then 57 MPH, then 62 MPH, then 74.7 MPH, then 80 MPH, Tesla can do a release every 2-6 weeks with "improvements to AP2" just like Elon said and keep those promises.
Only another 12-18 months before AP2 is at AP1 parity. But they're totally driving across country by themselves in the next 7 months. It's only been 7 months since they released AP2.

Disruption is hard.
28 MPH and not disclosed? Very disappointed.
One of the reasons I bought into Tesla was my belief they were honest. After seeing what GM did with a cheap detent spring that they were told didn't meet their own specs, and the ignored it then covered it up? Then I see Tesla engineer a battery shield and retroactively install it on previously sold cars. World of difference. I thought. Great honest company that cares about their customers.
Something's changed, and not for the better...

FYI, the source for the 28 MPH is the user manual in the car. So they updated the manual to warn people but didn't put it in the release notes? Slimy.
Tesla's New Automatic Emergency Braking System Limited To 28 MPH
Tesla's New Automatic Emergency Braking System Limited To 28 MPH
To be fair, that's not nearly as slimy. Lane departure warning, side collision assist, and AEB in AP1 had limits too that were only called out in the manual but were not called out in the release notes that introduced the feature.
