Had my first AEB "incident" the other week. Driving at about 25mph along a street, parked cars on the left and a guy walks out to get into his car. He is only about 1-2 feet out in the road beyond his car and I get an aural alert, red pedestrian icon in my HUD and the car brakes heavily.
Stop near him and he looks as surprised as me!

Good to know it works, did it do a full stop, or once it alter you, you start to breaking yourself, so can't really tell

Complete stop itself. I didn't intervene at all. Really took me by surprise!

Did you purchase an option for AEB or is it standard?

Do you have nightvision?

[AP]

I believe it's standard at least on uk cars. I have driving assistance plus but I don't think it's part of that.

No don't have night vision

I've had the same... it is really abrupt/rough braking, not a pleasant ABS feel...

had it when vehicle in front stopped suddenly, and also with a pedestrian on a pavement going around a curve (should not have braked).

As I recall, it does not do an absolute stop, coasts after the body block shock

Adjusted my severity to Medium or Low (Or late or whatever it's called)

[AP]

The only concern I have with this technology is actually not the technology but whoever is driving behind me!

If they are keeping their distance , no big deal but we all know that a vast majority of people do not and there is the risk of them banging into the back of you.

True but that is likely to do less damage to you, anone else, and the car and it will be the following car's fault

Honestly love the level of Tech in the vehicle, but i'm in two minds about AEB. Even on the 'Late' setting, I've had the system trigger 2 times now whilst driving on the expressway at moderate speed whilst cruising (~60-80km/hr), all triggered by motorcycles ducking and weaving lanes.

All those instances had the vehicle hit the brakes hard with the dash indicator and sound all doing their song and dance. My first reaction besides the initial shock is to check the rear view mirror and pray that i don't get rear-ended by the vehicle behind me.
