You can test this with a big cardboard box, find a quiet industrial estate, place box in road and drive towards it. You should get the autonomous braking kick in as it detects you are driving towards a static object.

I tried this on my old Peugeot as my model in 2015 was the only model to have this feature (called AEB). I tried this as I was getting random error messages. Dealers did not know what to do as my model was less than 300 units in the UK so a very rare model.

A few weeks later my car was rear ended by marked Police car at speed. Reason was my car braked me as car in front slowed down to turn right but I had not slowed down quickly enough but AEB had. Result Police rear ended me and I rear ended car in front...
