I was about 5-6' away still, going about 10-15mph matching their speed.If you were close when you went around the car-yes it will activate.

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

You reflexes wouldn't have been fast enough. This is a perfect example how many view their driving skills on here.
Yea- your an expert driver-hence the 0% chance of collision.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.

If there was zero chance the computer wouldn't have activated. Just let it go. Have a GREAT evening!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.
You aren’t the brightest crayon in the box, it’s painfully clear.If there was zero chance the computer wouldn't have activated. Just let it go. Have a GREAT evening!
I wonder what the % drop in accidents invovling getting rear-ended is/how it is trending as more and more vehicles on the road get these features...I'd say it has to drop. It's prevented me from hitting someone before. I wish I could afford new vechicles for my children with this/these passive safety features. It does have some quirks and like anything, you "drive around" them/understand them to minimize issues.
100% and you know...you can always jsut turn it off b/c turning off being more safe b/c you are such a rad driver is really the way go...largest roll-eyes ever....They should definitely reduce accidents. If anyone is against these systems because they infringe on their type of driving then perhaps they should stop and think that the problem is not with the systems.
From a large-scale fleet safety management standpoint, there isn't enough data to show that these features move the needle in a measurable way. At least not enough to justify equipping smaller commercial fleet vehicles with them.They should definitely reduce accidents.

Did you signal your lane change? Shouldn't that have 'cancelled' the automatic braking? Just wondering. My newest vehicle is a 2008 so the only time I drive something nicer is when I travel for work and get a rental.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.
