FCP Euro Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Love how the S-Class, which is more then 2 of the V40s, did not stop at the same speed the V40 was going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piston Slapper Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yeah, it seems Volvo has the system dialed in better than Mercedes does. Although people with these systems will probably become the world's worst tailgaters, just cruising up on people at ramming speed and changing lanes after the autobraking fires.

Bambooza Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 The only thing I was asking myself whilst watching them is: if I'm driving and don't notice a still car in front of me it will apply the brakes hard and stop in like what? 5/8yards? It means the car behind me is very likely to hit me. Wouldn't it be better a system that ignores the driver and automatically start to slow down 20 yards before the obstacle? If I apply the brakes then fine use my foot to determine the braking power, otherwise the system should act automatically without even telling me...

TIZIO AKA 1 HND MEC Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 The system work and calculate faster that a driver, also he might not avoid the impact (see the MBz) but drastically reduce speed when impact occur! Les damage to the driver/passengers and vehicles. Also think about a driver that feel ill or suddenly have a stroke etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because as far as they're concerned the person behind them should also have a new (insert brand here) with the same system and if they don't then maybe rear ending someone will make them buy one!

Big Will Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 All 2014 models need to have some sort of AEB system in order to be eligible for a 5 star Euro NCAP crash rating score. So these systems should be pretty prevalent in a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
