The car acts as if you've stepped off gas, dropping the engine speed to idle. A driver could easily stop a car even if the gas pedal were pinned down down to the floor.
"There's an implausibility going on there, so we defer to the brakes," said Rob Moran, a spokesman for Mercedes-Benz, one carmaker that already uses this technology on all of its cars.
... basically a SAFETY FEATURE (add-on). IMHO, we should be thankful and enjoy for what we have right now, that's life! Some day next year there will be a new member here who has this model, who knows?   |
