    21.3 percent disable automatic emergency braking outright

    For HGVs and buses, the law changed to prevent drivers from deactivating them so they can driver closer to the vehicle in front.

    Those changes were raised after crash inquiries which found some lorry drivers regularly switch off their AEB systems to drive closer to the vehicle in front. The regulation change will limit system deactivation to 15 minutes with automatic re-engagement after 15 minutes. - Wikipedia

    I don’t know about their quality and false-positive rate in cars, and maybe car usage is simply different, but I’m sure automatic emergency braking prevents many accidents.
