Automatic braking systems save lives. Now they’ll need to work at 62 MPH

I have a Tesla with AEB that drives me up the wall. I'm often driving in heavy traffic, and occasionally need to quickly, but smoothly, stop within a few feet of the vehicle ahead. My car decides I'm cutting it too close, engages full automatic braking, jerking the car to sudden stop with a 10 foot gap. Sometimes the vehicle ahead will even start moving before my car is stopped, but it has decided to stop and stop it shall. Cannot override even by flooring the accelerator. I miss cars that did what they were told, when they were told to do it. For the record I've never rear-ended anyone.

Interesting… I have had my Tesla for 5 years and have never had this happen. Wonder what is different.

The driver.

Every time I've been in a car with someone who routinely complains about their AEB its no wonder why the system is constantly "falsely triggering". I try to not ride with those people again.

I drive a Honda instead of a Tesla, but I have automatic emergency braking. I will say I've had it false trigger on completely empty and clear highway on several occasions, but any tap on the accelerator or brake will give me control.

I've had it beep at me while I was stopping behind vehicles before a handful of times, but it doesn't try to override me if I'm intentionally braking. There wasn't any actual threat of accident there anyway.
