What car do you have?

Volkswagen Group vehicle.

Are you saying that just in normal everyday manual driving your car would stop your car automatically from 60mph and not hit a wall because of a collision sensor?

My car’s AEBS will apply braking, shake the steering wheel, sound a loud alarm and flash the dashboard. I can’t say for sure if it applies full braking, or if that only applies at lower speeds.

Collision sensors are for slow moving things that are like 1m in front/behind you.

Perhaps I’ve not described the system accurately, because I’m not referring to parking sensors. My car’s owner’s manual states that AEBS works at speeds up to 220 km/h, and I’ve personally experienced it trigger while going over 120 km/h.

My take on Rober’s video is simply that Tesla’s automated driver safety systems are sub-par compared to other manufacturers. Perhaps somebody could perform another test with FSD enabled, but I personally don’t think it’s safe to require a driver to first enable a specific mode in order to avoid an accident—then they might as well just press the brakes themselves.
