    I've worked with crst & swift & have had the automatic braking sensory system engage the brakes, just because it detected a bridge or overpass I was going under.this has happened on many occasions even going around a bend on the freeway would trigger the braking system.the automatic braking system only sets up the driver for failure.i could only imagine if the braking system engaged by itself in the snow or on black ice.

    Yes Prime has this too. Our OnGuard system. It is so annoying to just be driving along and no other traffic or anything. You can be the only car on the road and then suddenly Bam it slams on your breaks really hard because of a bridge or a shadow.

    I Thought the on guard system was a ghost detector in the front of my truck because it would brake hard for no reason lol
