Pedestrian Detection Works!

[Mr. Incredible]

I’m hesitate to believe it won’t see a stopped object. If it reads a moving car in front, it’d have to see a stopped car. It warns me if I get too close to a vehicle that is slowing in front.

***This is ONLY with SCC activated.

it doesn't, I though it did an damn near rear ended someone in the first couple of days I owned the G80.

if it detects the object and the little car in the HUD is lit, it will stop, if that car isn't lit and the object is in front of you completely stationary it will not see it.

How does it know to stop in stop and go traffic when the car in front of you comes to a dead stop. I know this feature works.

Mr Incredible, you've just had three different people tell you their cars will stop when they see stopped vehicles. As in my earlier post, maybe they haven't validated that this works every single time, so they purposely have put in language to remove liability on HMA, but the three of us who have commented have had it happen. Has mine missed a stopped car or two, yes, just like it occasionally misses a car that quickly cuts into my lane at speed with SCC set. Maybe yours isn't as sensitive or is broken but the system in my car (and clearly others who have spoken up) regularly identifies stopped traffic in my personal experience. Please stop bullheadedly making claims that other people are proving wrong and misleading other forum members.

Now, I'm not saying anybody should rely on SCC sensing stopped traffic and allow the car to rear end said traffic. If you had to apply the brakes in that situation, please continue to take over, but seriously maybe take it in and have your system checked because ours (I'd say 90% of the time) will stop in the same situation. (My front parking sensors will randomly activate while sitting in stopped traffic with nobody around me moving at all, that doesn't mean I think that's how the system is supposed to work.)

I wonder if it’s software that adds the pedestrian detection it still uses the same camera or a different one

Camera? I believe the sensors do the work. My cross traffic rear sensors pick up a pedestrian walking behind in a parking lot.

. What happens on the HUD/DIC in an AEB situation?

Flashes a warning in red

How does it know to stop in stop and go traffic when the car in front of you comes to a dead stop. I know this feature works.

if the car in front of you is in range then the little car on the hud is lit and it will stop, that’s how it works. If the car in front of you is too far off for the system to see it but is slowing and comes into range then the little car lights and then the computer will activate the brakes if you are coming up on it too fast and in some cases the forward collision warning might even go off.

If the vehicle in front of you is at a dead stop and out of range so the little car isn’t lit up, and you are approaching it at speed and that car DOESNT move but remains stopped, the system will not see it and you will rear end it if you do not intervene and apply the brakes.

Don’t believe me, come for a ride with me and I will prove it.

The car will stop if it sees a stopped vehicle that was in range when it stopped. If that car was not in range when it stopped and came into range after it was completely stopped the SCC does not see it, will not see it, and you will rear end it. See my post above, and Genesis states as much in the manual, the SCC cannot see a stopped vehicle that is out of range when it becomes stopped.

Yes, it does
Some vehicles in your lane cannot
be recognized by the sensor:
- Narrow vehicles such as motorcycles
or bicycles
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or suddendecelerating
vehicles
- Stopped vehicles
- Vehicles with small rear profile such
as trailers with no loads

It also doesn’t see large debris in the roadway

I can comment on experience in various situations...
-When driving along and a car or motorcycle stops/pulls out in front of me - the car can and will bring itself to a complete stop.
-While using SCC on the highway, it will bring to a complete stop if the traffic in front of you does so.
-While in stop and go, with SCC activated, again, will come to a complete stop, at which point it says to use res+ and - to control accelerator.

I can't comment on running up on a dead stopped vehicle at any speed - I don't have cajones that big...

Actually you can set the distance between cars to be max and the SCC to be at about 30mph. Then on a non highway were there is a stretch with a light and hopefully a car stopped you need to come up from a far enough distance so the SCC does not see the car but close enough that it may or may not recognize the car before the light changes and the car at the light starts moving. Just nowhere around where I am to do that. But it’s all at pretty low speed but be sure to have your foot over the break!

I have had SCC lock onto a stopped car along the side of the road before and apply the brakes. I can't recall this happening when it's already locked onto a moving car. If I see a car stopped along the side of the road, I'll usually turn SCC off while I approach it.
