    Emergency collision avoidance brake systems are already known to trigger at random

    So? They also brake suddenly when a kid runs out onto the road in front of them. Anyone following should have enough of a space cushion to get hard on the brakes and avoid hitting them. Or at least avoid hitting them very hard.

    If you plough into them at speed, you’ll push the stopped car forwards and kill the kid.

      I mean I agree with what you’re saying, but the light is a helpful reminder to keep a safe distance away. I think AEB should have some sort of notice as well on the back of the car be it a logo, or “AEB-equipped” etc. Make it a size that if you can read it you’re too close.
