SMARTLY Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 How could it have predicted that, surely it couldn't sse the car in front it was going to hit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 I don't confess to understand the technoligy but it seemed to predict the crash. It would have been more disservice if the brakes were applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 It only buzzed didn't it? Could have been saying battery getting low, tyre deflating, coffee ready couldn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 I think the buzz might actually be the g sensors in the dashcam going off as the car auto braked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phipck Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 you can see the brake lights of the car ahead ( the SUV ) through the window of the corsa. The corsa would cause a blind spot for the radar of the car ahead the camera systems contribute to the overall system but i would have thought the radar would have picked up most of that anyway. Added to the predictive calculations for collision, its a very smart system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Scary really... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 The IS-F does that regardless off whether the radar cruise is on or not. Alarm goes off as soon as it detects anything stationary or suddenly traveling slower than I'm going, and it doesn't only react to what's immediately in front.

Tony Posted January 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Isn't that annoying in a traffic jam with the buzzer constantly going off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 The proximity parking sensors go off if I get too near another vehicle, or someone walks in front or behind the car, but the audible beep which warns for impending collision only goes off when the software computes the current speed with braking distance. The beep is the first indication, followed by the seat belt tensioners operating just before auto braking. In a traffic jam this doesn't happen, unless I guess if plant my foot on the accelerator to deliberately try to ram the car in front (no I haven't actually proved this). All this happens in standard drive mode. In radar cruise mode it regulates speed to keep a pre-determined gap to the vehicle in front. This gap has three settings which you could classify as far, mid and close, but even the 'close' gives enough of a gap for other vehicles to move into from another lane (usually a Volvo), which then triggers the belts and auto brake (the reason I rarely use cruise except in average speed camera situations, and of course fog).

Tony Posted January 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I take it then the seat belts are motorized rather than detonated activation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Yes, always a surprise when it happens as it does pull you back into the seat with quite a force. Goes back to normal after braking. Just thankful that the designers had the sense not to incorporate the air bags in that system as there are 10 or more of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 As you come off the brake i assume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
