Audi Pre-Sense was the worst offender. Looks like many others have similar experiences even this year:
I had a Nissan after that that implemented it a lot better, never any slam the brakes events. It would warn you with a beep and apply light braking first.

Agree with the automakers that the tech isn't ready.
The article doesn't mention how many times these cars slammed the brakes in false positive situations.
The cars I've driven with this are too conservative with braking in a lot of common scenarios like driving curvy mountain roads, or parallel parking in the city near pedestrians or taxis. I've had it brake multiple times in normal driving scenarios wtirh false positives.
The car takes over and decides to full stop immediately, almost causing me to be rear ended multiple times. Eventually the dealership turned off the feature, but only after multiple complaints from customers and media attention.
I vowed to never get another car with this system because of how bad the experience is. But looks like that may be an option only with used cars, due to the bew mandates.
I've seen Sceptre recommended whenever this question pops up. https://www.sceptre.com/
I've also had a lot of fun using a projector in the living room as a display (with blackout curtains on the windows) but it may require some care to make the bulb last longer. And it was a bit annoying trying to figure out how to get audio and video working for consoles/laptops. I think you might need some kind of HDMI splitter and speakers to get audio and video working properly?
Another useful search term is "Display" or "Commercial Display" instead of "TV"
These "Displays" will be TV's without any of the bloatware and spyware, but may be missing features like refresh rates, picture quality, etc.

Not answering your question, but avoid Roku like the plague
The article mentions Kairos Power but doesn't mention that their reactors in development are molten-salt cooled. While they'll still use Uranium, its a great step in the right direction for safer nuclear power.
If development continues on this path with thorium molten-salt fueled and cooled reactors, we could see safe and commercially viable nuclear (thorium) energy within our lifetimes.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-06/china-building-thorium-nuclear-power-station-gobi/104304468
To my layman's knowledge, using thorium molten-salt instead of uranium means the reactor can be designed in a way where it can't melt down like Chernobyl or Fukushima.
Edit: The other implication of not using uranium is that the leftover material is harder to make in to bombs, so the technology around molten-salt thorium reactors could be spread to current non-nuclear states to meet their energy needs and reduce reliance on coal plants around the planet.
Also have their keyboard and its amazing. I'll be doing the same, System76 Desktop and Framework Laptop for my next upgrades.

Yep everyone blocking Pinterest.
Also the most prioritized website is Wikipedia. Guess everyone wants facts in the the age of hallucinatory AI
I hate Pinterest lol, best thing about Kagi is being able to block whole sites and it remembers your preferences. I may come back to Kagi but I didn't feel like funding their AI features development. Now Im using Searx and 4get cause they're free.
This'll probably slow down career growth for a lot of people. Less facetime and work visibility for everyone below C-Suite. If your boss has 20 other direct reports, how do you stand out for promotions and raises? Also fewer leadership positions to get promoted to.
Kagi is rolling out more AI features and I cancelled my subscription after a year. I didn't want my support going towards all the unasked for and unnecessary AI, I jist wanted private search and was willing to pay for that.

Try these instead, they're free and drama free unlike kagi
Edit: Unless you're looking for AI, then maybe Kagi makes sense to pay for
Exacta. Firms like Apple moved because labor was becoming expensive as China's economy developed over the last few decades (beyond the geopolitical issues). You see it with outsourcing moving to Philippines, Vietnam, India, Thailand, Eastern Europe. These firms will keep chasing cheap labor in developing nations when they can. Next'll be Cambodia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Central Asia, Africa until there's nowhere left or its all robots.
