The automatic break warning came on with no one in front of me and the car came to a halting stop. Thankfully the car behind me was paying attention otherwise I would have been rear ended. I think this happened one other time, but I recall someone in front of me.

On the afternoon of 8/21/2018, I was driving my 2018 honda civic (manual transmission) to pick up my son from elementary school. As I was moving through the car rider line (which is on a downhill slope), I turned on the brake hold assist feature so that I would not have to constantly press the brake pedal as I'm waiting in line.
