It's not only rear ending. The main road near my house has a sharp left turn with a sign on the side of the road. I occasionally get a BRAKE! warning there, probably because AEB mistakes that sign for a car in front of me. On a wet road, stepping on the brakes when the car is turning can easily result in understeer, which is particularly dangerous in that spot because of the large boulders nearby.

Yeah I was just adding to the things to consider. In my case it has never really confused inanimate objects, the worst was a curved road and a car coming "right at me" which was just at an angle. But it was a temporary slowdown due to cruise control, nothing major.

Car reviews are largely useless fluff - a real analysis of the differences between brands for this kind of thing could actually be useful.

That matches one of my two faulty EAB experiences nearly perfect.
