Description of the problem	The automatic emergency braking (aeb) 'feature' in my 2017 vw passat engaged this morning at aprox 10:30am mst, when accelerating onto an empty street, after turning westbound onto 8th avenue, from northbound colorado boulevard in denver, colorado. Based on the time of day, there's no way sunlight could be a factor as i was headed west and it was well before noon. The car passengers and i were all very startled by the dashboard lighting up and the brakes automatically engaging so suddenly and severely, with no road obstructions. This is the second occurrence of the aeb feature engaging for no apparent reason, i don't recall the first time specifics, other than the sun was behind the vehicle (it was after 4pm, and i was headed eastbound) i have zero idea what is happening with my vehicle and the aeb feature engaging without any visible road obstructions this and the previous time. Note, he brake pedal was not depressed/engaged during either occurrence. Also note, the aeb feature has engaged previously, accurately, apparently and reasonably functioning as designed.
