Automatic emergency braking literally saved my cars tail from a brick wall.

If you were close when you went around the car-yes it will activate.

I was about 5-6' away still, going about 10-15mph matching their speed.

It did what it was designed to do. I guess we are such in a hurry we can't slow down anymore and let someone turn. We have to go around because our lives are so busy...apparently.

You are more than welcome to drive like how you want to drive. Others are more than welcome to. You've also claimed you've gotten 26mpg in a 5.3l Silverado driving freeway speeds so your opinion doesn't mean much either unfortunately.

Yes-you can get 25mpg all day long in a Silverado with the AFM activated at 70mph. I have owned three of those trucks-now many have you owned?

In that scenario it would activate. It did not detect any slowing...it activated. You were too close. That situation was an accident waiting to happen-should the car in front of you (abruptly) slow even further.

You reflexes wouldn't have been fast enough. This is a perfect example how many view their driving skills on here.

The side radar in my wife's prius is nice when backing out of a parking space surrounded by hulking, huge SUVs. The rear camera only points rearward.

My car, and maybe hers, beeps with a giant red "stop" banner when I'm closing on someone rapidly. Thankfully it's not too sensitive. Only got triggered a couple times when a truck was turning left, albeit still in my lane, and I had a path around it.

Is this an older model? Most of the newer rear cameras have a wider vision. In the scenario you mentioned they are invaluable.

I've owned two of them. My buddy has also owned two of them. Neither one came even close to 20mpg, let alone 25mpg, at anything above 60 so no.

Yeah, no, we were already slowing down for them to turn. I was trying to go around them as they were 50%+ into their turn. There was 0% chance for a collision, hence me starting to go around them. Sorry, you're simply wrong, yet again, like usual.

Yea- your an expert driver-hence the 0% chance of collision.

When someone is turning right into a parking lot that has curbed concrete areas, the odds of them doing a U-turn and turning back 180* then turning another 90* is 0%, yes. I'm sorry you're not a good driver but don't project onto others because you can't drive very well. You have no idea the driving history or experience other people have.

If there was zero chance the computer wouldn't have activated. Just let it go. Have a GREAT evening!
