A local road earlier.

 

Looking at that crash I guess there is something to be said for new cars having mandatory emergency autonomous braking as standard 🤔

 

I'm guessing the rear most car (? a Skoda) braked autonomously.

Or possibly for not being a tailgit?

Perhaps the front car emergency stopped without driver action for no real reason; and maybe the driver of the blue one was texting. Who knows.

I'm guessing that the rear most car drove up afterwards 💡

 

It might even be the plod.

 

How about the front car had uncommanded emergency autonomous reversing?

 

Or its because of Brexit.......................

 

Find a photo and select your own narrative!

Is it not standard fit on cars now? But only works below 20mph or something like that.

@Aspman AEB usually only operates above a certain minimum speed.  

AEB became mandatory in most vehicles produced for EU after May 2022. 

Actually Type Approved from then, so new models.  But now mandatory on any produced regardless of being type approved before 2022.
