#2Having driven a vehicle with automatic braking, I find myself experiencing no positive feelings about this proposal.

#3I sure hope this works better than the "automatic collision warning" system that ships in most modern cars. Fortunately my actual car doesn't have this. But every time I drive a rental car the damn thing is constantly beeping at me in completely safe scenarios. Last thing I need is for the government to mandate that those beeps instead become emergency full stops.

#4Well, you should hope the vehicle behind has it too.

#5Do U.S. people really benefit from this kind of restriction from the Government? Seems like they are pawing their way into our property to empower themselves with all kinds of precedents.

Probably a user setting? Our car gives us a visual warning. I think it’s a nice to have.

Seat belts is user's responsibility, so not like that.
Like requirement to have a display, requirement to be able of stopping if the Government wants, anything like the covid restrictions.
The government in 60s was not able to insist on any restrictions for drivers which are working willy-nilly.
