I often see the argument that you might need to floor the throttle and swerve pulled out in these threads but I'm dubious that this is a real problem. My gut feel (and no, I don't have data to back this) is that far more accidents are made worse by people deciding to use that response than would be made better by the car overriding that decision and putting the brakes on to come to a somewhat controlled stop.

The latest generation of automatic collision avoidance systems will automatically swerve to prevent certain types of crashes.

I'm sure there are certain types of crashes that can be avoided in that way, but I trust a collision avoidance system to make that judgement far more than I trust a human driver who was only half paying attention to the road five seconds ago.
