Sorry but it isn't about "the way I think". YOU made up a story and presented it without any factual basis. There isn't an argument, this is a call out for the lies you posted. It would be nice if people were respectful enough to substantiate their claims if they are going to make them. Dropping falsehoods like that, as mentioned isn't helping anybody.
So can you answer the question or do we just all assume you made up lies to scare people?

For about the past 5 or 6 yrs, they always ask if the vehicle has AEB. If present we receive a premium reduction. We also sign that our answers were factual and that as per the terms & conditions, false statements may render the insurance null & void.

This is from the 2019 manual and in that model year, it does not automatically apply the brakes as a last resort.
: This system is an extra driving aid. It does not replace your attention and judgment, or the need to apply the brakes. This system does NOT automatically brake your vehicle. If you fail to press the brake pedal when necessary, you may collide with another vehicle.

When we apply for insurance we are asked a number of questions to assist determining the risk and what discounts are available..

That's my story. It won't convince anyone. But I became a fan of AEB and now usually run my DRLs as well. Rapid Red is hard to see on big trucks.
On edit:
1. I also have the AEB discount. About $9 a month but may include other safety discounts.
2. Under settings you can adjust the sensitivity of the AEB. You can turn it down but not off.
3. Kinda ugly to be calling people liars... you don't get "likes" doing that.

I was driving south on a 2 lane state highway. A vehicle coming onto the highway from a side road into the northbound lanes crossed the yellow lines into my path for a moment. The AEB system went active, alerted me and pre-charged the brakes. Fortunately I didn't need them but I was grateful that had I needed it, the additional braking power was instantly available. Until that moment, in about 50 years of driving I have never needed a vehicle to brake for me to save my behind or the front of the truck.

I can turn off the braking right in the dash...
I am not here for the likes but when people show up, write fictional stories to scare the uninitiated, that seems a WHOLE LOT worse than calling it as I see it...
