This Problem Across All Years
I recently purchased a 2025 Honda Prologue. I've had multiple issues with the advanced driver assistance systems. The rear automatic braking will slam the brakes on when I'm backing up if it detects something like a pedestrian on the sidewalk (that I am in no danger of hitting). I've also had issues with it misinterpreting where the lane lines are on the freeway, and automatically trying to incorrectly steer the car OUT of the lane, which is very dangerous, especially at freeway speeds. These systems can be disabled, but this must be done EVERY time you start the car. There is no way to completely turn them off and have them stay off. While I understand these systems were designed to improve safety, they are deeply flawed and actually make driving less safe. At the very least, there needs to be a way to permanently disable them. NHTSA needs to mandate that car companies, including Honda, offer drivers a choice to permanently disable these systems until the technology is much better than it currently is. Thank you.

Multiple times, my REAR collision automatic braking has activated when in reverse while barely moving and the vehicle was not at risk of collision. After 2 incidents, I turned the system off. Incident 1) I was reversing into a parking spot with plenty of space and the vehicle automatically applied the brakes, aggressively. It made me think I hit something but there was nothing around the vehicle. Incident 2) I was on the street at a 4 way stop. Car turning in towards me was going to need more space, so I reversed and while inching backwards with a pedestrian on the SIDE of the vehicle walking forwards from my rear, the vehicle aggressively applied the brakes, causing my passengers to think I hit something- but again nothing around the vehicle that was at risk of being hit. It was after this second incident that I turned the system off.
