.............................................................
We all know that modern cars are filled to the brim with high tech safety systems to help you avoid a crash. The question is, have you ever wondered how well these systems work?
Well, wonder no more! carwow is here to help you find out...
We’ve got our hands on a Tesla Model 3 and a Volvo V90. These two brands claim to have some of the best in-car safety systems on the market, so naturally, we’re going to put them to the test!
Mat is going to be driving both cars head-on into a series of obstacles. From life-size blow-up cars all the way down to a real-life (but stuffed) cat, Mat’s going to see whether the cameras & radars in each of these cars have what it takes to prevent an accident.
So what do you think, will they pass the test? It’s time to find out…

The Volvo seemed to start braking, and then reduce the braking as it moved closer to the target. I would speculate that it is to leave more space behind itself to reduce the chances of another vehicle behind running into you.

That's exactly right! Although I don't work for Volvo, I worked for another OEM on these Active Safety Systems. These are closed loop systems and we try to achieve target avoidance while also giving enough space for the person behind to avoid hitting you! Most manufacturers target 0-2m away from the target.

The Tesla safety systems are awesome! I was just rear ended at 50mph a few weeks ago and my car steered to keep me from going into oncoming traffic after I was hit, it also coasted to a stop to extend the time of impact which makes the rebound force less, and when it came to a stop it put the flashers on, cracked all windows about 3 inches and shut off the battery. It also automatically saved the video of the accident with a report of coordinated and where it was hit and that airbags were near deployed and I got a call from Tesla making sure I was alright and if I needed Tesla service help. I can’t wait to get my car back after it is repaired!

@Xanthopteryx 2 жыл бұрын

If you are rear ended, you should not coast along. Because that will make it more likely to get in another crash. Volvo: Car senses that you might be rear ended. It starts flashing rear lights. If nothing happens, it will pretension the seat belt and prepare the car for a crash. If you are stationary, the car will apply FULL brake pressure. And when crash happens, it will of course use explosive pretentioners, apply airbags where necessary, put on hazard lights, unlock the doors, make an emergency call to emergency services, send out a warning to other Volvos nearby so it shows up on their dash board that a car close has emergency light on (to prevent you from running into the car, in like a blind corner or something) and if BEV/Hybrid, it will of course disconnect high voltage. On a petrol or diesel, it will shut off fuel pump and fuel line valves.

That is, odd... Seems like he/she was not rear ended at 50 mph, and if so, the driver of the rear ended car was travelling like 45 or so... Or he/she was stationary and the car behind almost came to a stop.

I used to official test these systems for an OEMs. It may seem stopping further away is better, but that's not always the best. It may seem counter intuitive, but keep in mind there may be vehicles behind you and you also want to give them enough space to avoid you. Hence manufacturers typically try to balance braking distance between 0-2 meters away from the target.

@AleksanderHoff 2 жыл бұрын

I disagree.. if the car behind you cannot stop when you are 4-6 meters away from target, it cannot stop at 0-2 meters either.. the Volvo started breaking later. Meaning the distance the car behind had to stop would have been the exact same in both situations. However, if the car behind hit the Tesla, it might not get pushed into the pedestrian or car in front due to some extra leeway.

@kamilb8232 2 жыл бұрын

@@AleksanderHoff Wrong assumptions. As I said, it's a closed loop system. The distance the car has to brake behind is more with Volvo because Volvo takes longer to brake by letting off the brakes a bit. Tesla ADAS system appears to request max braking from the brake controller here and that's about it.

@@peterg4205 It may have been both. There are TTC (Time to Collison) calibrations in these vehicles to determine when to brake. You typically want to set those as late as possible to prevent nuisance braking. But if the conditions are right, the closed loop system will decrease the amount of braking it requests from the brake controller if it detects that it will have enough space to avoid the target with less braking. This is all actively calculated based on the rate of deceleration it's seeing during the emergency stop.

In the other it sharply slowed, then release the brakes as the bird passed. Both occasions were at maybe 30MPH.

I love this video! Very unbiased. What should also be stated that is far too often understated, is that the driver ultimately is accountable for the safety of themselves and others. Automatic mitigations such as autopilot and FSD are just that. Electronic systems designed to improve safety. Tesla and other manufactures require you to agree to disclaimers that they are not infallible, and that the driver is always accountable in the end. I believe we are still a ways off from transferring any risk to automation.

I had an interesting action from my old Audi A7 with auto braking. Driving along an empty country road and a torn open candy wrapper blew across in front of me, with the full open, metalized side toward me. The car hit the brakes, at least until it blew out of my path. Another consideration; Is there an infrared component to these safety systems? A person or animal would have a heat signature where the stuffed animals do not. Add a heater to the stuffed animals to see if it sees them better.

3:30 As we're expected on a Volvo. Longer time reaction for the people on the back if the dont have any automated emergency brake system, because it's applying the brake as the tesla does but actually stopping much closer within the car in front. And keeping your body intact with the seat also prevent some worst injuries that may happen with the loose seatbelt. Good job Volvo!

@@mediocreman2 Do you trust the vehicle on the back? I mean, bad weather equals longer reaction time. So the impact from the back would be greater if they do like the tesla does. Just take a look at "teslawhambam" channel and there are so many tesla that having the backend broken bcz of slight-to-harder impact and it cost up to 20,000 dollar to fix.

Great video. I would just add information to the dog situation. The dog's colour (deep black, not reflective), and not just the size, might be possibly the reason why it was hit even by the Tesla. It doesn't stand out from the background. Just remember that Tesla uses the white road markings to keep in the lane. If you want to test this theory use a dog with another colour. For example I tried this out on an automatic hand dryer by putting on matt black gloves. The dryer simply wouldn't start, because it's sensors can not pick up the trigger light, as no light reflects back from the material. Without the gloves the dryer worked completely fine.

@thebrowns5337 2 жыл бұрын

Although that was my initial thought (and hope) you can see by the ferocity of the braking that this just isn't the case. If it were the volvo would be braking gradually from at least as far back as the Tesla did, despite stopping nearer to the hazard. We didn't see that, we just saw late braking which doesn't help the vehicle behind and just adds more risk to the situation as the Volvo is likely to then be shunted into whatever it stopped for.

One time I was waiting at a red light and after it turns green, just as I was about to go, a pedestrian walked in front of me. Yes he checked the light and still chose to cross. I was mad so I started driving anyway. I wanted to scare him. Unfortunately my Mercedes braked automatically and even as my foot was depressing the gas peddle significantly, yes on purpose, the car just won’t fking move! I wish at that point the system didn’t work.

@kennethfingeret9471 2 жыл бұрын

Hello Jaijaun Hou, I feel your frustration at not being able to scare the krap out of him. It's nice that you didn't hit him. I had a slightly different situation. I was waiting at a light and it turned green to allow me to drive. I made a right turn (right turn signal on and flashing white waiting for t light to change). While making the turn a pedestrian walked (with the green light) but he walked into the back half of the work van I was driving. Since I started from a dead stop I was not traveling at anything more than a slow pace. His reaction after hitting the van was to hit it with his fist. I stopped and Sked if he is was hurt. His reply implied that I deliberately attempted to run him down/run him over. I pointed out to him where he contacted the vehicle. It didn't mollify him. After hearing an angry horn symphony (from blocking the street) I drove away as there wasn't anything else that could do. I'm still puzzled after so many years have passed how and why he contacted the van?

The reason why both system doesnt stop for small animals is becasue that is intensional, sudden breaking for a small animal can cuase more harm to the driver as the car behind will need to break sudden aswell which will lead to a higher chance of more seriouse accident espcially at high speed. If you where on the high way going at 70mph and a fox jump out in front you wouldnt want your car to be breaking for it would you as the car behind will crash into you at these type of speed .

@monsieurb90 2 жыл бұрын

@m.ahussain4005 2 жыл бұрын

I don't understand this line of reasoning. Why not create a set of rules for this. If there is no car behind then break. Maybe it could just be a certain distance. Next, if its a small object then only complete this maneuver if acceleration doesn't exceed a certain amount.

@DerKatzeSonne 2 жыл бұрын

He said exactly that. You might not want to emergency brake for a cat. However, the situation in Germany isn't as easy as you think. Google it. You aren't supposed to brake for birds or squirrels. However, braking for cats isn't very clear. Some courts said "it's ok", some other said the opposite. And bigger dogs - braking is allowed. And in reality, you often don't have the time to think about it. You see something running in front of you, you react. No time to think it through. Even though it obviously helps knowing if there is someone behind you or not, so you might react differently according to that.
