I'm guessing that you have never driven one for any length of time.

My wife's car has it. She has had the car for about a year, so I've driven it some. I've had the brakes activate a couple of times--quite the surprise! The first time I was going around the car in front of me as he was slowly making a left-hand turn but hadn't completely vacated our lane. Plenty of room, no issues imo. The car disagreed, and I wondered what in the hell all the beeping was about. A few seconds later I found out as the brakes were applied with force. Very unpleasant

But I have learned to obey the beeps. Big Brother knows best, I guess.

I admit, I have not. I've only had the blind spot monitoring but didn't have to deal with it applying the brakes. Can you adjust the sensitivity or turn it off?

If they are this intrusive I'm definitely a proponent of adjustments for sensitivity and an off switch!

I can only speak for my wife's vehicle (Subaru Outback). To my knowledge the auto-braking can not be adjusted or turned off. Some of the other "smart" features can be toggled off/on, but I can't think of any off-hand that can be adjusted.

To be fair, I like some of them, particularly the "auto-adjust" cruise control (or whatever it is called). But I despise the lane-departure warnings and auto-correct. I do see the value of the auto-braking in theory, but it needs to be fine-tuned (at least from the version I have driven) for me to be completely sold.
