Same here: Honda CR-V 2020. It uses single lens (so not a stereoscopic vision) and radar.
Never did it brake hard, only warning and few times brake pretension.
It will occasionally give false positives on a street curving left with cars parked on the right side.
Once it did warn on a highway most likely due to metal comb joint of the elevated road section. (I specifically looked at what could be the cause)
The driver reaction within a time window is likely important factor in preventing the system to elevate. I have good reflexes and will put my feet slightly on the brake in such situations.
Honda had a recall for an older AEB system 2017-2019 Accord and CRV:

That's a fair contention: I've never personally driven a vehicle with such mechanism (perhaps owing to my economic inability to own such a device)
I appreciate your informed opinion!
I don’t even want to know what situations I’d need to be in for my vehicle to actually emergency brake, but I don’t want to find out. It seems like I’m already going to be hitting something anyways so any speed it can bleed off is better.
