Mine can be turned off. Three menu items deep, at each and every start of the car. No preferences.

I simply disabled the camera and radar. The car was unsafe. Did I mention it emergency braked all the time, for no reason? No, it wasn't me, and almost getting rear ended all the time gets old fast.

These systems are far too immature for use.

What car? My Kia has dedicated buttons. It's three presses.
It's a Ford, with almost no physical buttons.

(I edited my comment adding the word deep, to indicate it is 3 clicks deep. Very annoying.)

Yikes. I can't stand the fad to remove physical buttons. While Kia does a decent job (all of these controls I mentioned are on the steering wheel), they have gotten bad about the center dash having touch buttons.
I remember driving a Ford rental I was given when my car was being repaired that had the same issue with emergency stopping when it absolutely shouldn't be.
