I've had a few Lexus cars, and my '18 Tundra, with the collision avoidance systems. Not a fan. In my experience, it has created more danger than it has eliminated. That is partially due to individual driving conditions/habits, but I've have vehicles brake hard, when they shouldn't be braking. Their was TSB on the system in my truck, and they didn't like the 2.5" leveling lift on the front. I know in some cases these systems can be shut down, but am curious about possible liability issues that could happen if you were found at fault in a serious accident.
