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.

This is based on a single Reddit post (including that BI report) by some anonymous person claiming to be an Audi driver. Audi drivers are not known for being very safety oriented*

They’re all assholes, at least where I live.
