Was about to respond to your question on how to disable the Autonomous Emergency Braking but the video posted by MikeCt accomplishes this with a visual solution. Now I wish JLR would make it simpler, since disabling the AEB and the Emergency Lane Keeping takes something like 8 or 9 taps on the screen to accomplish. And I do this each and every time before driving off, which is a minor inconvenience but I’ve got it down now thanks to it being imprinted into muscle memory. If JLR engineers are listening, it would be genius to allow the formation of ‘shortcuts’ or ‘routines’ such as iPhone has to allow the implementation of these multiple steps into a ‘shortcut button’ to avoid all these repetitive steps.

My own experience with the 'Emergency Lane Keeping' is isolated to one particular spot. There is this one left turn pullout in a median, that it is reacting to something and does a little tug on the wheel, even with the turn signal engaged. It does it every time there and nowhere else. I am at a loss to what it is reacting to, but it is consistent. I am super curious just what is making it jumpy at that spot and nowhere else, even though it is just a landscaped median pullout, so traffic is quite far away. I'll have to see if the wife's Evoque, which has all the same stuff reacts there as well. Just a matter of prying the car away from her for a run to Home Depot.

Does the emergency braking also apply in reverse? I was spaced out one day reversing into a parking spot and nearly backed into another car. I braked and wondered if I didn’t would I have collided into the car behind me?

Disabling the Emergency Braking is the first thing I do after starting the vehicle. The second thing I do is disabling the Emergency Lane Keeping feature. As related above, I do not need any vehicle to brake when I do not want it to, nor am I expecting it to. It happened to me once, and I have disabled it ever since. All these years of driving, and in vehicles without this feature, I would rather trust my own instincts and reactions. And I also do not need a vehicle to attempt to override my own steering control by wrenching the wheel when I neither need it to, nor expect it to. I don’t relish getting rear ended when my vehicle slams on the brakes when it is not necessary, which occurred while I was slowing down for a driver in front of me turning onto a parking lot, in a situation where I had plenty of room and was pacing their turn to avoid applying my brakes. Had there been a car close to my rear bumper, they may have hit me. You couldn’t give me a Tesla, as I am perfectly able to, and enjoy, driving and controlling my own vehicle. Without going into my utter disgust for Elon Musk, the Teslas have a rather poor record in regards to their autonomous operation, and the fatalities related to its failures.
I was so pissed, I immediately turned all that crap off and then proceeded to clean the truck for the next 2hrs…yeah for me!!

I believe so. I was on reverse from my garage and there was a car on the street driving. Mine was about 20 feet away and for some reason it decided to brake automatically with a warning and flashes. AEB is good and bad. It’s too pro-active from what I have seen
