I'll just call it AEB and like the title said, I feel like I'm in a catch 22 using it.
I'm sure it will save lives, maybe even mine, someday. Problem is, a few times I've stopped short (nothing too serious) and it slams on the brakes as if I was going 50 into the back of a truck. It locks up the brakes completely and I've winced waiting for the hit from behind. Today a guy in a Toyota truck blew his horn angrily after having just avoided running into my bumper. Yeah, he'd have been following too closely on paper but the setting is really aggressive and doesn't leave the driver behind with much time to react. Thoughts?
