Here's a video on Automatic Emergency Braking technology for cars, to protect bicyclists and pedestrians.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWZQGcMN3VcI have no experience with that version, but I've experienced AEB driving the 2022 Kia EV. It's always been responding to a false alarm. For example, once on a 35 mph city street, the street had an oddball sudden jog left and right. I think that put a parked car in the straight ahead view of the camera system, and the brakes went on. At other times, I could see and time a car slowing to turn into a driveway, but the camera seemed to assume he was stopping in the road.
Anyway, if this technology becomes common, ISTM it might help reduce the ~1000 bicyclist and ~7000 pedestrian fatalities in a typical year.
