I drive these trucks at my current job. These emergency braking systems work so good, it even hits the brakes when there's nothing there.

The first test, I bet the driver is secretly in his mind "RAMMING SPEED!"

This is why we should never allow paper cars

How my body reacts when i stand up real quick: 1:03

Even when the AEB is on and working, I would still crap my pants when I saw it coming at me full speed.

As a truck driver. I see the benefits to these systems. But they still have major short comings.

Static cars in 2000s video games be like:

I lake how the hazards flash faster than usual

amazing feature especially when having one of those on purpose braking pranksters in front of ya

It's so good it also works on overpasses! 👍

Got this on my freightliner cascadia. Slams on the brakes when I go under some bridges. Very un safe ar 60 mph in traffic.

I go by the IIHS when I travel Hwy 29 between my home in Culpeper and Charlottesville and have always wondered what the white tent was for, now after 8 years I know! Do you guys ever do tours?

Notice the test is done on a dry straight away , were a driver should see the vehicle ahead of time ? Now imagine this , even at a low speed , going around a corner , on slick roads ... or worst yet those same conditions with nothing in front of the truck but it reacts to a shadow , over pass or guardrail in the corner like the only truck I drove with this system did . It almost caused a major interstate pile up and only luck and skill is why I can reflect on that experience. I refused to drive that truck again and refuse to get in one with that system . I am not having the deaths of others or suffering injuries because of this flawed system .

Picks up stationary traffic on off ramps when road ahead is clear and slams on brakes, awesome system

Now they just have to set the speed limits to 30mph . All set.

Why does this seem so cool and satisfying? The deploying of the brakes and turning on high beams and hazards to alert the other motorists? Those are some good safety features.

Loaded truck with 80,000 pounds would be another story

rip to the truck thats following this one without the AEB

I top out at 99,000 lbs of grain, no chance of stopping quick in most situations. Staying alert and watching out for idiots all the time.

can't count the number of times it has malfuctioned on me looking up my brakes with nothing in front of me waiting for it to lock up the brakes on ice,the flashing lights and horn still won't get the people to put down their phones down

Wow, look at all the parts that could fail dangerously especially when dirty or worn. Glad to be driving a 90’s truck.

I don't get why it is set to stop so closely from the other vehicle. What if it was raining or it had heavier load or anything? It would take longer to stop and the truck would slam into the car.

The Aeb is great! Also include alarm :)

Impressive for a massive truck!!

Anyone noticed that the emergancy assistand braking and blinker sound the same is as from The Mercedes Benz Actros mp4?

I think auto breaking sucks all of our 40 truck's breaks lock up just driving under bridge's DANGEROUS

I like the added honk feature

All fine & wonderful so long as the system is properly maintained. There’ll be fingers pointed the first time it fails & it’s determined the system wasn’t properly maintained or even cut off.

I want to see you doing that with a flatbed load

1:04 collision warning 1:06 horn + AEB + hazards + headlights

Yeah it's fine till it sees a false positive out of nowhere or picks up on a bridge and slams the breaks on a wet/icy road. Hate this feature

I've seen a semi use it's drop axle to stop in an emergency and let me tell you how much smoke came off those tire like wow

Wow that’s amazing

It's great! But. What is the name of the truck? Freightliner?

R.I.P Cargo

I drive a 21 cascadia. I just had the collision warning sound, the horn started beeping and the brakes locked up.....in the middle of the street....for no reason. Nothing in front of me, almost got rear-ended by car behind me. And it stopped me on a rail crossing. There has been a number of times the collision warning has sounded and the closest vehicle is 2 to 3 miles ahead of me. Beginning to wonder if this is a good idea. At the time I was 78,000 gross.

What kind of system does this use? Cameras, radars, or maybe even sonars?

Now put a full smooth bore tank of milk integer back😅

"What do you do for a living?" "Drive trucks into cars."

is there a way to make it so the air horns start sooner and make them sound like a cargo ship.

I want to see him do that with a 38k pound steel coil.

Who else would rather hit the 5000 lb. idiot 4 wheeler then to have that 40,000 lbs. in the trailer come though the back of the cab ?

If the system is so good, why test it in such a controlled environment?

Need For Speed Underground 2 traffic cars be like:

Lol test it with fully loaded truck , when i was a company driver this stupid system was going crazy when raining

Trucks really need 2 sets of brakes..one for the driver to use and another set to permanently lock the tires…like a slow lock that takes ages seconds to fully lock the tires because all over the place there’s run away ramps for trucks that lose control so these big rigs need better brakes or a new kind of truck..

What about a full load brake test?

These new trucks are yes reliable as hell I drive the same rig and love it but I think the features as they call them are just to much. It says collision warning for a shadow under a bridge I personally think Freightliner just chill a bit with all this

ok now try that at the speed alott of these truckers are going 90 + mph . and lets see how it works out.

Why does the horn have to go off?

I don't think that's how you steer, with your hands inside of the steering wheel.

Now do that in a loaded tanker

with empty trailer, hahaha,

Wow 😮

Crash Test Freightliner Cascadia

*Great News for Robbers!*

fas o teste carregado e vamos ver a efiçiençia

Now the system should also send to the rear hey here was emergency braking... watch out when the next truck comes shot at !

wait automatic?

Why don't Semis have any safety gear for the driver other than a seat belt?

ELMER FUDD: (On first impact) Gosh! He disintegwated!!!

5 comments on a video with 500k+ views, odd

1:02 that is way too soon man.

Nope.. Why is driver on cruise control? Why is driver distracted? Lets see what it does with a smooth bore tanker and 1/2load of dirty acid. Or 1 45000 lb coil. Or a 1972 container chassis loaded with an import container. In the rain in a construction zone with transition lanes. On transition lanes at a merge point.

Yeah, if you're going to do a working demo then let's see it brake loaded!

It's good to have but maan, one time almost locked my brakes on the highway going under a bridge smh

when california minds come together to develop a safety system that works so well it should be illegal because of how bad it is. this is a feature that should never have been invented. there have been more near fatal crashes and more near crash incidents with this system than so far recorded. its a safety feature that is not ready for real world testing and should be confined to lab and mind only

Maybe if the first driver had used his brakes?

This is only great when you are a terrible driver and don't pay attention. In everyday function it is a nightmare. You ever wonder a truck suddenly hits the breaks out of nowhere after a person just got in front of them. Well that's because this system will involuntarily apply the breaks for you if a vehicle is traveling too close or slows down way too fast. So those people who like to go 70mph to get in front of a person and then bump down to the speed limit will cause issues

Эта фура с автоматикой остановилась а за ней без автоматики???

Yes, destroy the prius!

Con la trailer cargado con 80,000 libras completo el camión y la trailer quisiera ver lo no le den mentira ala gente

so beautiful

no man u need to hit does break cheaker for the safety of other drivers

1:01

That car does not have a good safety rating

only now? haha europe has them like 10 years alredy again usa is living 20 years back in time

Of course, stupid tailgaters may have a bad time.

Reees

The radar shit then starts going off every time it see a sign useless just do proper training drivers and pay moreeeeer

Yeah let's see that same demonstration on icy roads and blame the driver for the skid it caused

Still it's not better than most European Trucks

what is the difference using a real compact car then the fake one? they are made of plastic and paper,,

Sorry, but more technological rubbish that will be undone easily by the lack of reliable components. No electronics can react and perform anywhere near the level of a human being. There are so many variables to an incident such as this that the computer will never be able to react fast enough. What we saw in the video is easily done by any driver who is even half asleep. Most drivers would have pulled up sooner. And as others have said. You have that truck loaded up with anything up to 100 tonnes and see how easily the computer brings the truck to a halt. So many trucks have approx 40 tonnes in the back and they are not going to stop in that distance. This lunacy of trying to computerise and electrify all road vehicles is only going to end in the deaths of many more people.

Although these systems are not perfect, keep in mind that humans make more mistakes than computers. Computers don't talk on mobile phones, text, or have to review their documentation, all while driving. They are not subject to the many distractions that affect all humans. Like all technologies, they continue to improve as time goes by.

Sorry, but making truck driving too easy makes poor drivers and leads to too many wrecks. The worst thing you can do is put cruise control in a truck. You turn off the drivers mind and then they fall asleep.

Does it have it's weird glitches and faults like everyone in the comments is saying? Yes. Would I rather drive without it? Absolutely not. I'd rather have it and deal with the occassional BS, then not have it and have the possibility of killing someone.

NO AIRBAGS IN THE FRIGHTLINER CASIDA? NOT GOOD AT ALL! THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WOULD BE KILLED WITHOUT AIRBAGS!

companies are trying to use technology as a coverup for ignorance behind the wheel, 4 wheelers are not properly trained when they get their drivers license how to act around trucks, and if I had my way their would be a massive crack down on companies that have training programs for 4 wheelers to get a cdl A/B and after getting their CDL A/B would have to do a mandatory 500 hours driving time logged by an ELD with an experienced driver that would be also required to do 500 hours of on duty not driving while logged into an eld to make sure that the training is actually occurred. None of the teaming inexperienced bullshit. If the training hours don't match aka way off without a doubt trainee cdl A/B revoked on the spot for a 1 year period and will have to start all over again. For the trainer CDL A/B out of service for 1 month and no training for 2 years. repeat offenders 3rd time Trainee CDL A/B revoked for life. Trainer out of service for 3 months and revoked from training for life. everyone at least deserves a second chance at life and sometime a 3rd, but if training can't be taken seriously then please leave and find a different career that way less people die. As for drivers that have a CDL A/B and drive aggressively / stupidly for no reason including but not limited to tailgating other vehicles and the like. Three strikes your out CDL A/B revoked for life. you want safer roads then everyone needs to do their part its a good day when everyone gets to go home without being in a wheelchair or body bag Fun facts: average 4 wheeler 3500lbs to 10,000lbs and that's being generous on the high side vs. semi truck 80,000lbs and can be more with permits example 120,000lbs

Anyone that thinks this is a good idea has never driven a truck, and if you drive a truck and think it's a good idea, you need to reevaluate your life choices. The safety systems are bullshit and they cause more accidents than they stop, you can't replace common sense.

That’s not a real car 😠😠😠😠😠😠

I feel like this should be standard on semi trucks and other large vehicles that come out on today’s market

why not a real car sus
