I came across this and I thought, fan bloody tastic......NOT!!! :fum:

Have a look at the photos and see if you notice what I did.... :scared:

I think so.................. typical isn't it after all that is said about these being invisible..
-
HAhahahahaaaa... it's prolly outside the field of possible collision, then again they may not give a sh1t :Shocked: :Shocked: :Shocked: :Shocked:
-
Whoops .. spot the deliberate mistake :whistler:
-
I would say, not perceived as a threat as it is off line and not crossing the car's projected trajectory.
Here's another bad idea
Pre-crash brake assist – if the system determines that a collision is highly likely and the driver applies the brakes, the system can generate 1G maximum deceleration to help reduce impact or damage.
Well, I think I'd rather have maximum braking controlled by ABS, not 1 miserable G :fum:
-
I think I've mentioned this before quite a while ago but on the police driver training cars, the ABS was switchable and the stopping distances were significantly reduced in an emergency braking situation when ABS was switched off, providing the driver was trained how to brake properly.
Many drivers aren't, in which case ABS is the better option.
-
This system seems not so suitable for our traffic situation. We have many scooters on the road. For some of them, sometimes you just never know when they will show up getting into your sight.
-
That's interesting, if ABS releases the brake when a wheel is sensed to be locking up, how does a human outbrake the ABS :question:
-
I've personally experienced this with lots of practice.
The maximum braking obtainable is achieved immediately prior to lock-up.
Most people either don't brake hard enough or else brake too hard causing wheel lock-up which increases stopping distance.
So if you know how to apply your brakes to achieve maximum braking performance, then you will out-perform ABS.
ABS is usually faster than the average Joe Bloggs but as it is braking/releasing/braking/releasing continually, it does take a larger stopping distance to stop than a professional driver, especially on wet roads or on gravel.

Never tried either option, I'll take your word for it. :goodjob2:

In most (all?) Hyundais there is now the Brake Assist System (BAS) that, supposedly, will sense an emergency stop situation, and help to apply maximum braking force.
