Mine only brakes itself if cruise control is engaged.  Other than that if something comes out in front of me or the car in front jams on it just beeps loudly and a big "brake" sign in red comes up on the dash telling me to brake myself.

Which can be handy if you're texting your mate whilst driving and you're not looking at the road so you don't rear end someone.  Just kidding rats before ya have a heart attack.

Your car has it alright Horse, I thought mine didn't either but I was passing a pub one night and had a sideways look in the pub window to see if it was busy, the car in front of me stopped dead to pick up someone off the street and my car jammed on automatically cos no way (even after getting the warning beep) was I quick enough on the brake to stop a collision.

I don't know of it brakes itself.  It definitely does in cruise control but there's a good few times where I'd be say overtaking someone or squeezing through a narrow gap which sets off the beep but the car doesn't brake. Maybe mine only has a half version or something.

Don't know about that.  How's about you stand in the middle of the road and I drive at you at speed. If the car brakes you win, if not you end up in hospital and I win.

My yoke beeps at me when it thinks I'm too close to the car in front.  Mostly useful.  But it also has a feature to jam on the brakes when it's thinks you're about to crash.  Happened to me once or twice when it thought I was going to collide with a cyclist.  Nearly put my head through the window as I wasn't expecting it.  (memo to self: can I sue myself for whiplash?).  I've turned off the collision thing in the settings  >:D
