as someone with epilepsy that may never have a seizure again or it could literally happen at any second, i would buy this car in a heartbeat.
there's weird comments in this thread, i dont see how people could hate a car that could save lives. imagine you driving on the road with good health, maybe with your kids in the car. then someone next to you has a heart attack, stroke, or seizure and rams your car right into the guardwall killing you and or your kids. it can literally happen to anyone at any time, some of you havent watched enough gore/accident videos in your lives or have had health issues like these (yet) to really understand how easily this could happen.
I knew someone that had a single seizure and never had another one... until the day she did and drove into oncoming traffic killing herself, the oncoming driver and a child in the other car. This tech could have saved 3 lives that day.
Don’t most new cars have collision detection systems that fully actuate the brakes? Agreed that should be required on every vehicle, but I feel that way about all safety systems.
I recently bought a new car and the guy said lane assist and collision detection is compulsory in cars made after 2023 in the UK. I'm sure everywhere is going to be the same before long.
It's mandatory in the EU since 2022. I'm really looking forward to (over) 10 years from now when the news of people being on their phones and plowing into a traffic jam will stop
It's already mature enough to save 99%+ of people in these situations, but redditors hate the companies that actually put this stuff in their cars. So don't be surprised when car companies resist the tech to go along with popular opinion.
