AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/25 Report--

Is the urban safety system that Volvo boasts reliable? Recently, at a test event, the organizers tested the Volvo XC60 active braking system with pedestrian monitoring, and the dummy's legs were knocked off. The video publisher said, "Technology does not mean 100% security, be careful!"

It is believed that many drivers have encountered the sudden and dangerous situation of pedestrians while driving, so the manufacturers have launched an active braking system with pedestrian monitoring, which is mainly used to deal with behaviors such as "ghost probe" and "crossing the road". Through the camera and radar to judge the pedestrians on the road to achieve early warning and braking.

During the test, the dummy started under the obstruction of other vehicles, and the Volvo XC60 still had a distance of about three cars. It was not until the dummy reached the middle of the lane and the vehicle was very close to a certain speed that the active braking system activated the emergency brake, which eventually collided and the dummy's legs were broken.

From this test, Volvo XC60 failed to stop completely before the collision to avoid accidents, only played a role in reducing the degree of collision accidents.

Some netizens said that the road was slippery at the scene, affecting the braking distance, while others thought, "this is good, at least it didn't crash, and the brakes stopped." Although some netizens expressed understanding of this, some netizens questioned the situation of bumping into pedestrians directly. "the technology still needs to be improved" and "it can be bumped into so slowly, and the technology is not the slightest bit worse."

According to Volvo, the system uses cameras and radar to detect and identify vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and large animals, even at night. The detection of dangerous situations will issue a collision warning in time, brake the vehicle automatically when necessary, or activate emergency avoidance assistance, so as to avoid or reduce the collision and reduce the loss. The system starts from 4 km / h and can avoid or reduce car-to-car collision accidents at a relative speed of less than 60 km / h.

The active braking system can avoid collision accidents to some extent, but in some cases, it can only reduce the collision, as demonstrated in the above evaluation video is an example. Therefore, some netizens warned: "No matter how high the safety, driving is after all a certain risk, careful and slow walking is the guarantee of safety!"
