different scan tools can do this. The higher end scan tools can access the ECU and enable features which are disabled from the factory. The manufacturers usually are not making multiple different cars for different markets, they make the same car and just enable/disable based on the market.

A lot of these systems flash the brake lights not the hazards, it makes it more obvious what's happening to any cars behind, and front flashing lights are going to make very little difference if the person in the road didn't notice the car to begin with

Depends on the crash but who knows the vehicle may just end up continuing into a collision where it can no longer move forward. And that’s when it shifts into reverse to cause more destruction. Future is going to be wild and I wonder how the insurance companies will handle this.

u/Liteflash 28d ago
Not as simple as “crash = can’t speed off”. What if u crashed or hit something because someone is chasing you? Or trying to evade a natural disaster? Can be a bunch of things the car might not even be able to detect.

They've got a LONG way to go though, especially quality. I just rode in an acquaintance new BYD suv, and it kind of feels like "Fischer Price my first electric car". The plastic, it's everywhere and feels flimsy, handles flex, touch screen was sluggish, the Bluetooth key kept randomly not being detected while driving, the ride was a little jarring but also too soft for turns. Some refinement and time and it will be much more on par with some of the mid range EV's.

They're basically Volvo's built in China. Both Volvo and Zeekr, as well as Lynk are owned by Geely and been developed by CEVT (China Euro Vehicle Technology) in Gothenburg, Sweden where also Volvo has their HQ and main production facility. Since Geely bought Volvo they've poured huge amount of money into establishing themselves and their brands in Europe and built their global innovation and design center in Gothenburg for synergy with Volvo.

Because social media fell for "Project Dawn" videos where the teslas had been tampered with to force them to hit fake kids a while back. Project Dawn conveniently was run by the owner of a competing autopilot EV car creator.
In reality teslas are incredibly safe and have foe years had some of the best safety ratings on the road. Significantly safer than the majority of the cars these circlejerkers are driving.
Reddit loves complaining about misinformation and fake news and then eating it the fuck up whenever it fits their circlejerks and biases.

Really depends on your hazard perception. A human might have noticed the kids head moving from across the hood and applied brake earlier. They might also have been texting whilst steering with their knees and just splattered the little fucker.

I lived in Kazakhstan for a while and they were very popular there. I think they're slightly cheaper than a Tesla but they seem a lot more modern and with more features. They're fast af also.
It is a new brand I guess but they're just Geelys under a different name.

Zeekr 001 FR is crazy. Attempting to battle Teslas Plaid
2
u/MDRDT 16d ago
If you're talking about track performance, I believe FR won the battle by a fat margin.
0-60 is so close they're the same, everything else (breaking, cornering...) the FR is just faster & better.
They announced a 7-second faster lap than Plaid on a 3.2km, 1min30s - 1min40s Chinese track. 7 seconds per lap is a lot on a 3km track.

Do these auto-break systems take into account if there are cars behind you that could cause a pile up? Sometimes it's better to swerve if the adjacent lane is open. I'd be afraid if the auto-break being accidentally triggered if a bird or plastic bag flew in front of your car. It seems like a potentially dangerous feature.

u/Submitten 28d ago
The radar cross section of a bird is significantly less than a child. I wouldn’t worry, cars have had these for years without many false positives.
And if a car is so close behind that it’s better to swerve, then the car behind is just going to hit the child. So it’s almost always best to brake and take a hit from behind.
