Yep, me too.  And, at least in mine, it comes on every time I start the car, so I have to remember to turn it off. 

So do all the current systems have an "off" switch? Because I would certainly worry about situations like Tuco had. I could certainly see that leading to surprised people overreacting in either braking or steering. The closest I've come to it is a rental car I had a couple of years ago that had that adaptive cruise control. I didn't know about it until it started adjusting. Luckily it made it's first adjustment based on the speed of the guy in front of me so I could figure out what was going on, and it was a fairly smooth adjustment. The second adjustment was with someone passing me on the right, who I guess got too close to me. That freaked me out a little. I don't think it ever activated outside of cruise control in the couple of days I had it.

If the current systems have an "off" switch, I wonder if that will be the same with this new standard?

I'm impressed by some of you.  I'm a pretty aggressive driver and I don't think I've ever got to the point the car braked itself.  (Maybe once or twice the car hit the brakes as my foot was coming down on the pedal)  My 335i had the system as well so I've been driving vehicles with AEBS for a while now.

I've gotten the flashing light and beep-beep-beep, but the braking seems pretty late in my cars.  Heck, the Bronco Sport has the Auto Cruise COntrol that stops at lights, and I tend to think it keeps the speed up a little longer than needed, then brakes hard.  I often find myself reaching for the brake to kill cruise control just before the truck finally decides to slow down.

Riot police also raided an encampment at UCLA after the anti-semites there got violent.

There were other police actions around the country to clear out encampments, as well.


Oh, and OAC is screeching about how Columbia and the NYPD will be held responsible if any of the poor lil 'chillruns are harmed during the illegal, vicious, anti-First Amendment Trump-led fascist Nazi assault.

OK, maybe she didn't actually say all of that, but we know that's what she's thinking.

Good lord... this may be the slowest paced game I've ever played.

So how many will the new system kill due to unexpected braking?
There are always unintended consequences. There is always a downside.
