“Four times over the last week while driving 35 MPH straight down a residential road, I experienced an unexpected engagement of the front collision warning, and one of those four times, 4 days ago, I additionally experienced an unexpected engagement of the front assist emergency braking which caused me alarm, as the speed dropped dramatically from 35 MPH to 20 MPH, and I had to be sure no cars were behind me to cause a rear-end collision. In none of these situations were there any hazards on the road to avoid: cars, pedestrians, objects. …”
