Because people use the horn for crap it wasn’t intended for. Like anti-theft alarms nobody pays attention to them anymore.

There’s no reason to honk in the sort of accident avoidance situations that crash avoidence systems activate for. The honk would’ve had to come far(well, like a second) earlier and there isn’t really a reasonable way for the car to know.

Shhhh, might wake up the driver.
Can’t have that, now.

Agree on your 1 second warning. Hmmm, 50ft at 35 mph. Maybe someday the car will be able to know...

Maybe, but it’s exponentially more difficult to tune the system against false activations.

That could get very annoying very quickly.

Startle response. And probably difficulty with orientation response too.
