Sudden shadows at slow speed on a sunny day can cause ADAS Driver Assist to brake and break your Jeep?

[Jeepney Johnny]

In a recent video, Scotty Kilmer shares the problem with a customer's Jeep (dunno which model). The Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS) discussion is about 2 minutes long and starts 15 seconds into this video:




It's not just Jeep he rails against, it's the whole philosophy of ADAS in the industry. Really puts the 4SS in assist, don't it? Here's another anecdote from a 2020 Gladiator owner telling a similar story under similar circumstances: https://www.searchautoparts.com/mot...hen-2020-jeep-gladiator-throws-adas-curveball .

Anyone else have a related woeful tale or anecdotal incident to share? My Jeep doesn't have this level of ADAS, just an occasional back-seat driver, but I do wonder if it's really such a good idea to have an Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) as mandatory safety equipment on all US-made autos by 2022. My supposition is that there are statistics that suggest the risk of malfunction is far out-weighed by the benefits of accident prevention, but that's an opinion based on numbers. What do you think?

I’ve never heard of such a thing a d I haven’t experienced it in the first 21K miles of driving my Jeep. I use the advanced cruise control often.

Are you really that gullible?

Never had this happen to kine, but it has freaked out in a parking deck and slammed on the brakes a few times.

I think legendary poet/philosopher/dreamer David St. Hubbins said it best:

"I believe virtually everything I read, and I think that is what makes me more of a selective human than someone who doesn’t believe anything. "

But on a serious note...If you're asking me do I think ADAS/AEB systems can brake a brand new Jeep or any other vehicle erroneously...? Sure, but I'm not just taking the word of a coupla strangers on the internet. No one and no thing is perfect. I've got some personal experience, the 19-year-old Chevy in my garage will sometimes apply a touch of stability control braking while going straight on a smooth freeway.

I’ve had four mopars with ADAS/AEB and never experienced any such thing. Sonar has to contact something not see shadows.

A 19 year old "Chebby" has got what to do with a new Wrangler?

Not even the same technology used.
