How is this spam?
This sounds like a good idea.
If the tech doesn't suck.
My collision avoidance false positives all the time which scares the shit out of me so it's never on.
I don't know about the tech because my car doesn't have it, but I have no idea how this article would qualify as spam.
The tech works, but it sounds (to me) like they want to base what triggers it off of full vehicle sensors (ie, curb/reverse sensors), which would be an absolute clusterfuck with anywhere that has potholes. That shit goes off and beeps at me if it doesn't like a crack in the road, and would get people killed if it also slammed the brakes.
Meanwhile my ten year old Smart produces just one or two false alerts per year. It's a simple camera-based system, yet it works incredibly well. The lane departure warning works equally well. Both are so effective that I never want to drive a car without these systems again.
I think you're driving too close to people. In my 2018 Outback I only get false positives when I'm WAYY too close for safety, or some fucking grandma is taking 10 years to turn and I'm barreling down the road at them.
And even then it's only alerts, I've only had 1 false braking in 5 years.
My 2017 Outback false brakes a couple times per year. It really doesn't handle steam well (there's an area I sometimes drive where steam often is being vented from the underground train area). It also has a little trouble with it when someone in front of me is turning really slowly, as you mentioned.
I don't get them on vehicles.
I live in a windy and hilly area and I get ghost brake warnings on empty roads.
