Probably automated driver assistance breaking. Lots of new vehicles will do that when they sense an imminent crash.

Those safety features are really inconsistent though.

My car sometimes thinks I try to crash into cars parked at the roadside and starts screaming at me. The moment the alarm starts I'm like 10m away from the parked car at most, and then the breaks didn't even engage.

My work van has trouble with fir trees when backing up. I assume somwthing about the mass of multiple ones in a row swaying together or somwthing makes it think its closer. But like 3 on 10 times it will auto brake at 20 feet and wont let you go any further. the easiest solution is for the passenger to hop out an stand behind the van, so it can tell how far away he is.

Agreed, to the point of ridiculousness.
