Not really, no. A warning maybe, but the car "thinking" there's a need for a full-stop, and acting on it, especially on a motorway sounds way scarier to me.

I've been driving AEB equipped cars for almost 10 years, on 2 different vehicles, and have never had a false brake event triggered. I have had multiple false warnings (without braking) on the older vehicle and no false warnings on the newer one.

I know anecdotes are not data though. I actually wouldn't mind seeing something from NHTSA or IIHS on this to see how much of a problem it is.
