So called safety features

My daughter was out in the Kamiq last night and the car slammed the brakes on unexpectedly, stopping the car.. There was a motorbike waiting to emerge from a side street on the left side but he was stationary, waiting at the junction. There was a car behind her and it was a close call, as the car was quite near. My daughter was badly shaken up.

These safety features seem to be equally capable of causing an accident as preventing one. We can disable this feature on a temporary basis (quite a few steps in the screen) , but can it be done permanently?
