I've also had mixed results. My 2018 Prius is flawless, not a single false brake in nearly seven years. We recently purchased a Tesla (I know, I know, long story) and we had to turn the braking sensitivity so far down that the feature is now basically useless.

Tesla uses cameras because Musk is an idiot

He truly is an idiot. I wish he'd just step down from Tesla. The company has some great ideas, but instead of making them better, he's making everything worse.

Edit: some of the newer cars are being reequipped with radar but it's not being actively utilized because of idiocy.
