I have to back out of my driveway in a 2021 Ford Explorer on a fairly busy street. I am typically very cautious because there are parked cars along the street obstructing visibility and you have to be real careful backing out. Even with this heightened caution level, one time I missed a small, gray car that happened to be perfectly obstructed by the rear left pillar as I elected to back out. The "collision avoidance autobraking" kicked on and definitely saved an accident. I may get false positives now and then, but that one instance of a saved accident makes up for all the random quirks as the manufacturers work to improve these systems. I'm a believer.
