I had the AEB activated a couple times under similar circumstances when I was slowing down to stop close to the car in front of me. Of course, the system can't predict that I was planning an aggressive stop, and pushed the brakes harder than I planned. Based on this experience, I would NOT let the AEB do work instead of me if I want to make sure to avoid any accidents. It's like the last resort thing to protect against possible injuries, not to prevent negligence.I have had AEB activate on one occasion so I can at least confirm it's there. I was in heavy traffic on the highway, going relatively slow. Traffic in front of me stopped so I had to stop too. I saw in my rear view mirror that the person behind me might not have enough room to stop without hitting me so I slowed down planning to get very close to the car in front (a foot or so). I think I was only using regen to slow down. The car decided to apply the brakes as it thought I'd hit the car in front. The car behind didn't hit me but that left him less room to work... To the driver in the back it must have looked like I was not paying attention and slammed the brakes. I was not happy. But after reflecting on what had happened, I eventually understood.
