FWIW the maximum Deceleration above 15mph for a car without ACC is 4m/s. It's not abrupt at all. If you have parking assistant, there is rear collision mitigation as well.
The cover between the grills is not a radar/infrared sensor. It would house the front camera if your car has surround view camera. Otherwise it's simply a black trim piece. Your car does have Active Guard (the two cameras mounted at the top of the windshield).
The Pedestrian Warning Pictogram is not dots...

I must have been doing below 40mph, pedestrians were walking away from me up the hill I was travelling up the hill behind them
It slammed on anchors BEFORE I would have hit the pedestrians (had they actually been in my line of travel)
Noted on the sensor, makes sense (pun not intended)... I was aware of the Active Guard
The warning - to be honest I did not make full account of the warning pictogram, I was busy dealing with a WTF moment
I've set the car to late warning now so hopefully I will keep my lunch down...
