Now people understand why we have used the moose test in Sweden since late 70s.

[@林振华-t4v]

Maybe better light scatter patern and reduce speed will help more than relys on the car wont flip. Breaking is always prefered over swervering on public road.

[@tiro2041]

Only Saab did the moose test… now that Saab is gone nobody does that…

[@OFFL1NX]

My man was eating his meal in the middle of the night driving on high way, not expecting anything to happen and he avoids the crash with insane reflexes. You got some skills dude.

[@hape4]

This was a Guinness world record in reaction time. In the middle of the night driving so many km’s I guess some of us (at least me) would have crashed into the moose or at least into the railing. Luckily no one was hurt. And the car is nice for sure!

That was really close, happy to see you came out of that one with just a small scratch. I'm always worried about these freaking moose to show up on the side of the road, but now I see I gotta keep an eye on the road as well. Again, happy you didn't end up with the moose as a passenger :)

[@apicharjiratanan4285]

I hate to say that Volvo will just break like a badassoutofhell, (sorry but is true) but luckily for me I put em brembo breaks on; with out it moose will definitely fly. But I am also impressed by near emergency breaking without that electronic assistance, I'd gotten into a collision in the shopping mall with an ignorant driver.

[@lone_wolf_XIII]

Man, it could have gone really bad really fast. Glad Bjorn and the Moose is ok!

@@apicharjiratanan4285 Remember Tesla uses Brembo brakes and everyone criticizes them for poor performance.

[@fjalics]

I never hit one, but I know they are all kinds of trouble, cause they are so tall, and heavy. I think your crumple zone takes out the leggs, and the body comes through the windshield.

[@sweetbon76]

@@fjalics if you hit it up front it could go through the windscreen. If possible you should aim for the back (as Björn did, like a pro!), since it's lighter and also moose always runs forwards.

[@alexxela754]

The slow automatic high beam is definitely a risk. Good example of that. Grate reflexes though.

[@kasmopaya2676]

First thing I deactivated on a Model 3 SR+. Way to slow.

[@oleost]

Yeah I don’t understand why they don’t turn on faster. If the car is supposed to be able to nearly do FSD the vision system should be able to know when the car is besides you..

[@BizzMRK]

@@oleost especially considering that it should be pretty obvious for the cameras when there are bright headlights from oncoming traffic shining at your car.

[@JavonAnonimni]

@@oleost AFAIK BMW doen't turn on high beams if you are driving through a settlement, there's oncoming traffic or if the road is lit up with street lights. The last one was exactly what happened in the Moose situation. Because in my country which has similar traffic rules as Germany, you shouldn't have high beams in those situations and I think you never should have high beams on a highway anyway. But the last rule might be more suited for non-adaptive headlights.

[@matimac91]

@@kasmopaya2676 The same here, I live in an area where roads are not illuminated at night and it is really dangerous to wait 1-2 seconds to the high beam to turn on. I feel much safer using manual headlights.

[@antiik]

"I almost died" is no exaggeration. Several hundred kilograms of weight high on stilts means that the body mass is most likely going on the windshield right where your head is. So many people have died from moose crashes. Phew... thank the stars you are ok!

[@Has7DCT]

I remember when there's a Buffalo in the middle of the road and how my VW Polo swerved to the opposite lane. Literally spun out of the road and the front bumper ate grass and dirt!

[@wasabiworthington6352]

That was so close! Good driving. I am amazed how quickly you decided to go left. Hey friend, you just gained a whole new level of respect from us followers. So glad you are OK.

[@M_Andras]

Actually it was the wrong decision to swerve to the left, because on the right he had more space, but considering the moose moved to the right at the beginning, It would have been the right decision to go left if the animal continued to the right. So it is ok that he went to left, there is not much time to think about those decisions in situations like this.

[@guseks8413]

Im so glad you are okay Björn. Two years ago I crashed with an elk here in Sweden and it deleted my volvo. The tow man said if I had been in a weaker built car I would be dead. Im so thankfull I was alone in the car that night. I walked out without a scratch. Also this is the reason I never use automatic high beam. It cant be trusted.

[@Lo_Durr]

Pilot Björn managed miraculously to avoid moose hit! Happy to see all unharmed.

[@hartfischer5509]

[@michah1896]

That is strange: no collision warning or emergency breaking. For what do they build radar into those cars? Besides that I am happy that no one was harmed. Also: thats a great example how a speed limit saved at least the life of the moose.

[@Zedus-rl9hp]

@@michah1896 The systems are just not designed for it. The performance of most systems is just enough to recognize vehicles and people. Sometimes they respond, sometimes not at all. You can't rely on them at the moment.

[@BizzMRK]

@@michah1896 the radar is exclusively designed to detect very dense objects like cars. Radar would not be able to detect objects like cardboard cutouts, small plastic pylons, children, while adults or animals are very hit and miss and highly dependant on the crosssection they present. Pedestrian warning systems are usually lidar (which this car does not have), camera and/or ultrasonic based systems because of their much higher resolution and reliability with smaller and less denser objects .

[@apicharjiratanan4285]

wow! moose test passed! hmmm .... i might have to wait for next lot of IX50, might just change my volvo for this beaver

[@LaVaZ000]

You definitely should, I got one and it's an engineering masterpiece. The design was off-putting for the first few days but it really grows on you once you drive it a few times, it also stands out in the crowds so you might even see a couple of people taking photos of it.

Worst possible time to encounter that moose, and thankfully your eyes were on the road in the split second they had to be. Have had a few cars with automatic highbeams, never liked them because of the lag before they switch on. Also very bad that they switch off because of reflections from road signs etc.. would often curse at them for being unreliable and slow. Ended up turning it to manual mode on all of them.

[@TorAsbjoern]

Man!! That was scary, I'm really glad that it turned out good for you, Bjørn!

[@aukanmeister]

Just to be clear. In Norway, if you hit a moose or similar, you are obligated to call the police. That is if you definitely hurt the animal, or think you might have hurt the animal. The police takes care of calling viltnemnda,or you can call them after talking to the police. The insurance company may check if you called the police if you decide to make a claim. Bjørn checked the vehicle for damage to assess if the animal was hurt. Conclusion was, probably not. I agree with his assessment. To be absolutely clear, Bjørn did what he was supposed to do.

[@Pro09video]

Atleast in Sweden you should call them anyways, and then they will warn other people on the radio where there is a moose on the road.

[@aukanmeister]

@@Pro09video This is good info! Thank you for that😀👍

[@olabergvall3154]

The law is the same in Sweden. Bjørn should have called the police regardless, since the animal was actually struck and there is no real way of knowing the potential injuries.
