## Narrative
The automatic emergency braking system engaged without warning, stopping the car abruptly while I was traveling at 25 + MPH without any hazard ahead and no imminent collision. I was nearly rear ended and have suffered a strain of left thumb which was on steering wheel and will now need to be seen by medical personnel.  The Red BRAKE signal came on but the car immediately braked to a dead stop within a second.  I am calling the dealer next.
