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

No, it was me going around the car and auto braking decided it should go off. The car behind me saw that I was going too so it started to accelerate but then braking decided to slam the brakes and they almost rear-ended me.
So the other vehicle wasn't equipped with auto-braking?

I'm unsure about this feature. I can see how it may be helpful but I also can see how it is potentially problematic.
 
Do you think all cars will have automatic emergency brakes soon?

Nissan has them on their least expensive base mode Versa.
 
Was the alternative rear ending another car? I know a few manufacturers have complaints about false activations.
There was a case in Malaysia a Honda auto braked when detecting a shadow(no car in front) while entering under a overhead bridge. It braked at 70kmh and was rear ended by the car behind..so...
