From the research I’ve done, this issue effects most if not all vehicles with AEB (I call it Nana at the wheel)
Our particular vehicle will brake all by itself if passing another vehicle on sweeping right handed bends if we are in the outside lane, OR a vehicle moves from our lane, into a turning bay and stops. I have tried a longer and shorter distance on the radar but this makes no difference.
This issue is caused I believe by car makers being cheap, and having the radar only look directly ahead, IF the radar was A) set to follow the angle of the steering and B) have a narrower field of view almost all false alarm braking could be eliminated.
This is NOT a warranty issue for the manufacturer, the system works as they designed it, and even if it’s flawed if still gets them the 5 star ANCAP rating.
