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.

>For the record I've never rear-ended anyone.

I understand the sentiment. However consider that cars kill around 2 million people, and maim another 2, every single year. For scale, its equivalent to a fully loaded passenger jet falling out of the sky every few hours.

Anything you can do to reduce this insanity is welcome.
