I had a potentially fatal case of phantom AEB earlier this year. I was on a motorway in Denmark, overtaking a tanker at maybe 90mph. For absolutely no reason whatsoever the car sounded the alert and slammed on the brakes; and, yes, "slammed" is the correct term: a guy some distance behind me had time to brake, but if some idiot had been tailgating me, there would have been a very serious accident involving the tanker.
The incident was resolved by me "eventually" (as in, what seemed like an eternity in slow motion) figuring out I should slam the accelerator in return, but the severity didn't dawn on me until later, and it clearly included the immediate and obvious potential for multiple fatalities. I've had a number of close shaves over the years, but this one stands out because I had no part in it. An important aspect of life is risks and risk management; we all take risks, we consider the proposed actions and weigh the odds against our competence and confidence. When I (tacitly) decided to overtake the tanker, I was in full control of the situation and knew exactly what I was doing: I'm 63 years old, and it wasn't my first rodeo. By way of technology, however, all of what I knew about driving and risk management was taken away from me.
I'm no technology philistine, I have an honours degree in Computer Science (yes, that was a thing even in the 80s), but this crossed a line. I had an open service request with Tesla, and asked if there was a way to permanently disable AEB (screenshot), but I was informed this was not possible. Since then, every drive has always started with me manually disabling AEB.
I have always told everybody my Tesla is the best car I've ever owned (mercs, a jag, a bmw, vauxhalls, citroens, range rover, notwithstanding) but I will be selling it next year, and I will never buy a Tesla again; at least, not one with autopilot. It isn't so much the car itself, a Tesla model S is one of the most competent and capable saloons/sedans you can find, but I have simply lost faith in the company and how it goes about its business.
