How to test collision avoidance?

[tonys22466]

How can you test the collision avoidance with out hitting something?

Does the 2018 G80 base model have collision avoidance system that brakes or just a warning system?

It will brake. There is no easy test. You have to have some mass, not just a paper or foil barrier for it to work. A few people here have had it activate and work well.

You can see a demo here

there are Youtube s of people creating a a pseudo rear of a car with PVC pipes and paper- and it worked

It was either Motor Trend or Car & Driver that did a comparison tests of Auto Emergency Braking on a Cadillac, Subaru, Audi (? Not sure) and Toyota. They had a wide range of performance with the Subaru trumping all the others. Moving at a 30 mph speed all passed. At 35 only the Subaru managed to stop before a collision. In fact the Subaru still avoided the collision at 45 mph. Another chart indicated the speed of the car at point of collision and, though I don't recall the exact data, the Subaru entered the collision at a much lower speed -- hence a less severe accident. I'd really love these tests to be mandatory so buyers can also evaluate collision mitigation when shopping for a new car. Unfortunately we as consumers have no way of doing a comparison or guesstimating how well a Genesis or any other car might perform.

Sure, a standardized test at a couple of speeds would be good. Would also be good if they could say, yes, it collided but not so bad. At 45 mph it slowed it to a XX mph crash.
At 60 mph is automatically calls a lawyer for you.

I tried to have my dumb neighbor stand in front of the car while I was doing 100 miles an hour but he refused! Go figure!!
