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.

If you are going to share your anecdotal experience about AEB, please also share your specific vehicle make/model/year.

The entire point of these tests by AAA was to measure the effectiveness of these systems, as compared to older cars/systems.

If you're saying "Well my AEB sucks" you might want to look at the tests, and consider that your system might be old, or just an individually sucky implementation.*

I've got a 2019 Subie Outback and the AEB is pretty good. It really only engages in very tight circumstances above a certain speed (and probably only lower than a certain speed) i.e. I'm pretty sure it will let me rear-end something if I'm crawling slowly enough. Prior to enaging AEB, the beeping is very loud with a very short interval.

(I traded in my 2017 Tesla Model S to get the Outback and I've never regretted it.)

With all this added tech and safety systems, why is per capita traffic deaths rising since 2018 and the highest since 2009?

Is all the added expense and impact on the environment worth it? Is the cost ever a concern in these mandates?

I very much doubt AEB saves anything like as many lives as "studies" claim, for the simple reason the "studies" will not be able to account for the number of times AEB hauls on the anchors, unexpectedly, for no reason at all. This has happened to me 3 times in the last few years, fortunately with nobody behind me, and likely causes more accidents than it avoids. It will be good when it's production ready.
