    To be fair, Automatic Emergency Braking sounds like it has enormous potential for things to go wrong but I say that out of concern for safety, not expense.

      I agree completely. In snowy/icy conditions, it could result in more accidents because I know my car’s ABS isn’t tuned for slippery roads because my braking distance is noticeably shorter when I pump the brakes any time I feel the ABS kicking in instead of just letting ABS do its thing.

      Pay attention to what is in front of you and leave enough distance to be able to react calmly in time. AEB sounds like “feature to make it safer for bad drivers”. Which, ok, I can get that, but personally, I’d rather see things changed such that bad drivers either get removed from the road or don’t get a license in the first place.
