If you weren't paying attention to the road and encountered a small cat, would your car slam the brakes? A car enthusiast decided to find out in a new experiment filmed and posted to his channel on YouTube.
The 12-minute experiment has just under half a million views and includes two vehicles; a Volvo V90 and aTesla Model 3. Both are known for their automatic safety features that include braking for obstacles when the driver isn't paying attention, so host Mat Watson tested them against another car, a pedestrian, and several sizes of animal.
While standing on a closed course designed to mimic an urban environment, he said that he was going to test out the automated breaking system on the car. We are going to find out.
Both vehicles were driving at a foam Model 3. He tried to drive into a cutout of Musk himself. The cars passed with flying colors, but theTesla braked sooner and left less distance between the car and the obstacle. The Volvo tightened his seat belt while he was in the car to prevent him from hitting his head on the seat.
Both cars failed to brake for smaller animals like a stuffed dog and a cat, despite the fact that theTesla identified a large kangaroo stuffed animal and braked to avoid hitting it.
If you aren't paying attention, your car will probably run over a cat. If it does auto-brake, pressing the accelerator down will cause the system to go off.
Don't rely on auto-braking system for cats, people and cars. You should keep your eyes on the road.
