I’m embarrassed to admit it but it’s saved my bacon on a couple of occasions. Definitely worth having. It hit the brakes for me faster than I could get my foot on the pedal and bought me that extra fraction of a second that made the difference between rear ending someone and stopping in time.

I’ve had the collision warning go off a few times when changing lanes where it thinks I’m going to collide with the car in front of me but it’s never actually applied the brakes when it shouldn’t have.

your post sparked my curiosity so I just watched this. Pretty cool stuff for a guy coming from an 08 Tundra

Come on Ford
My wife had a 2018 Rogue that the system failed to prevent a rear end collision. The position of the auto manufactures is no matter what safety devices are installed, the responsibility for the safe operation of the vehicles is the drivers.
It's a good system to have and I am sure it will get better as time goes by but it doesn't replace an attentive driver.

On my wife’s Buick it works great on the interstate, never noticed it working in town
its gotten me a few times when a car is turning out of the lane in front of me and doesnt realize as well, but it doesnt slam on the brakes for you it just primes the breaks, so a false trigger isnt all that bad other then a wtf for a second lol

apparently automatic emergency braking is unreliable when it comes to pedestrians, so its not just Ford
I don't see how these systems couldn't create a false sense of security and encourage lazy and distracted driving. Coupled with these unreliable systems, it begs the question as to whether or not these systems are creating more accidents than they prevent.

Lol, the Ford was just kinda like... pedestrian? (thump) Where?!
This was really interesting thanks. Ford and Kia/Hyundai obviously didn’t even try… but I was incredibly blown away by how good the other systems were. Definitely better than a human in these situations, especially in the tests where a pedestrian is obstructed from view completely until the last moment. Nissan and Audi stood out to me here.
I’ve had my Audi hit the breaks on me for no reason at slow speeds. Will scare the crap out of you.
