Following on from similar discussions about driver assistance technology in cars, last year I bought a new Vauxhall Corsa and I am still trying to work out what the active emergency braking is supposed to do.
Looking in this car manual it says “Active emergency braking only works when the seat belts of the front passengers are fastened.”

Is it me or does that defy all logic? It will not work when I am alone in the car or only have rear seat passengers.
Is it only intended to supplement the protection of the front passenger air bag?
If I am alone in the car would I be safer driving around with the passenger seat belt fastened?
