The AEB on my 2016 Honda Civic seems pretty good: I've only had it misfire one time, which admittedly is very jarring when it happens. It was down a winding road that had a very large brick wall winding around it: I guess the system didn't anticipate that I was about to turn. In fairness, it happened once.

Of course, I have most of the driving assistance features, like LKAS, disabled. They work alright, but when I got my windshield replaced, I couldn't easily get the part that had the all-important "H" logo on it, so they will refuse to re-calibrate the sensors. I think it's pretty funny that potentially life-saving driving assistance features could become useless because the glass on your car doesn't have the right logo on it. Maybe if there was something wrong with the glass, sure, but I mean, it is literally identical to the OEM glass as far as I understand it (same manufacturer, Pilkington...) and there's nothing preventing me from engaging the features now, they just are a bit misaligned. Given the direction that EVs are going, I'm guessing the enshittification of cars is just getting started, and safety will be a key scapegoat just like security often is for other electronics.
