Subaru Outback is vastly superior collision avoidance than AP which probably says a lot about software quality. It certainly doesn't have better sensors.
Cars in front of you decide to do random things like slam on the brakes or make sudden turns. Eye sight consistently would warn early then brake as much as necessary. I only had it do emergency braking 2 times and both would have been accidents as I'd misjudged the distance and speed of other objects. They have you test driving towards a trash can as part of the sale, it works, so not just cars in a lane. More interestingly though, the warnings, especially as early as they happen, made me a better driver fairly quickly. Tangentially, the warning sound on the Outback is far more compelling than on the Tesla. Weird UX thing.
