Speaking of automatic braking ...
Recently on the West Side Highway a driver of a vehicle was stopped by a motorcycle gang and began to feel that he and his family were in danger.
Having limited options, he hit the gas and ran over a biker or two (I don’t remember precisely).
I wonder if automatic braking would have kept him from doing that and (possibly) saving his family’s life.
IIRC, he, himself, was beaten senseless a short time later.
Yes, autobrake would have kept him from doing that.
