My hypothesis on this is that all automaker's automatic emergency braking systems likely function at approximately the same level, but Tesla drivers are disproportionately likely to rely on it due to the use of Autopilot being so incredibly common. Statistically, drivers of other brands that include similar lanekeeping abilities are far less likely to use them compared to Tesla owners' use of Autopilot.

Should it be happening? Well the NHTSA doesn't seem to mind it. Maybe we should be asking them why their automatic emergency braking tests are so stupidly out of agreement with what drivers expect and automakers promise that the systems are able to do. The freight industry has a high speed test and their systems are top notch.
