I have a modern car (2019) and the auto braking, collision and lane drift alert is a nuisance. False positives are common and there is no way to disable most of it. Some of it can be turned off but as soon as the car is restarted it resets to the default. I've even had the car emergency brake and come to a complete stop in the middle of the road due to a phantom collision. As soon as I pay it off I am going to sell it and roll back to an earlier model without all this mandated, modern tech and keep the older car rolling till I die. We will become like Cuba keeping 50's cars running into the 70's or even the 80's and this time it won't be due to the commies but the fascists.

Name the car brand and model. Not all implementations are so bad, so it’s important to raise awareness of the bad ones.

Seconded, better yet a public registry of locations and situations where these systems go off so that manufacturers can include these in their tests.

Weird that you cannot disable the collision warning and lane keeping. What Make/model is it?

Usually you can disable it but on a per-ride basis and it takes a lot of menu scrolling and tapping to do it again. It defaults to 'on' when you start the car, and there is no physical switch to disable it permanently.
