I don't see automatic emergency braking technology working on a road course without a lot of false positives.
My wife's Explorer has this and it's nearly caused her to get rear-ended a few times. It seems the system will panic if you accelerate behind a vehicle just before turning to go around a it. Also oncoming traffic has tripped it up a couple times.
With all of the regulation for fuel economy, safety, etc., vehicles are getting too expensive. I saw a stat the other day that said something like people are financially upside down on a third of all vehicle trades.
We can't only look at the benefits of technology. We have to start paying more attention to the cost before we have new technolgies mandated.
