Will a Tesla KILL a cat?

Need help buying your next car? Click the following link and my team and I will help you choose your ideal car at a fair price - from Mat Watson! bit.ly/Wow-Me-carwow
.............................................................
We all know that modern cars are filled to the brim with high tech safety systems to help you avoid a crash. The question is, have you ever wondered how well these systems work?
Well, wonder no more! carwow is here to help you find out...
We’ve got our hands on a Tesla Model 3 and a Volvo V90. These two brands claim to have some of the best in-car safety systems on the market, so naturally, we’re going to put them to the test!
Mat is going to be driving both cars head-on into a series of obstacles. From life-size blow-up cars all the way down to a real-life (but stuffed) cat, Mat’s going to see whether the cameras & radars in each of these cars have what it takes to prevent an accident.
So what do you think, will they pass the test? It’s time to find out…

[@felipitz]

Shape has much much more weight than size in any neural network, in fact, the Tesla stopping for the kangaroo could mean it wrongfully detect it as a small human.

[@Zadster]

The Volvo seemed to start braking, and then reduce the braking as it moved closer to the target. I would speculate that it is to leave more space behind itself to reduce the chances of another vehicle behind running into you.

[@kamilb8232]

That's exactly right! Although I don't work for Volvo, I worked for another OEM on these Active Safety Systems. These are closed loop systems and we try to achieve target avoidance while also giving enough space for the person behind to avoid hitting you! Most manufacturers target 0-2m away from the target.

[@suzesiviter6083]

One minor crash and the Tesla will explode and kill you, there are thousands of videos showing them going up like a firework and the emergency services cannot put the Lithium fires out, would you put faith in a battery at £3?, it only needs one to fail out of the 100,000 or so to wreck your car, possibly other cars near it and kill you. No one with any kind of experience/knowledge in Lithium batterys would buy a Tesla, its a dumb move.

[@richardcorns8553]

After crunching car fire statistics and sales data, the authors of the study found that hybrids actually have more fires per 100K sales, with: Hybrid vehicles: 3,474 fires per 100K salesGas vehicles: 1,529 fires per 100K salesElectric vehicles: 25 fires per 100K sales Although electric vehicles (EVs) may not catch fire as often as other vehicles, when they do catch fire, they can be extremely difficult to extinguish and cause much more damage. This has to do with the battery, which we’ll talk about more in a moment.

[@suzesiviter6083]

@@richardcorns8553 The fire stats are still early days, these cars batteries cells will start failing 3-5 year after purchase, just one small cell can in theory short out the battery and ignite it, we will start seeing lots of burning Teslas as people wear them in. Thats my prediction.

[@lorenzmuller4000]

@@suzesiviter6083 You’re funny. Like you’ve said correctly, only in theory one battery cell can ignite the whole pack. Every cell has its own fuse. If one cell fails the battery pack will be just fine. In theory one faulty injector in an ICE could also ignite the whole vehicle but that’s also not transferable to the real world. The statistics proof you wrong and extinguishing battery fires in the unlikely case that it happens is also not as difficult as portrayed by the media.

[@JoeHardman]

@@suzesiviter6083 You do realise that Tesla has been producing cars since 2009? So by your idea we should be seeing a disproportionate amount of Tesla fires vs ICE fires, which is not the case - actually the opposite.

[@tristan995]

The Tesla safety systems are awesome! I was just rear ended at 50mph a few weeks ago and my car steered to keep me from going into oncoming traffic after I was hit, it also coasted to a stop to extend the time of impact which makes the rebound force less, and when it came to a stop it put the flashers on, cracked all windows about 3 inches and shut off the battery. It also automatically saved the video of the accident with a report of coordinated and where it was hit and that airbags were near deployed and I got a call from Tesla making sure I was alright and if I needed Tesla service help. I can’t wait to get my car back after it is repaired!

[@tristan995]

I do have a concussion and back pain but I feel like that’s to be expected when hit like that

[@thefortnitecuh4900]

amazing sorry about your tesla though :(

[@Xanthopteryx]

If you are rear ended, you should not coast along. Because that will make it more likely to get in another crash. Volvo: Car senses that you might be rear ended. It starts flashing rear lights. If nothing happens, it will pretension the seat belt and prepare the car for a crash. If you are stationary, the car will apply FULL brake pressure. And when crash happens, it will of course use explosive pretentioners, apply airbags where necessary, put on hazard lights, unlock the doors, make an emergency call to emergency services, send out a warning to other Volvos nearby so it shows up on their dash board that a car close has emergency light on (to prevent you from running into the car, in like a blind corner or something) and if BEV/Hybrid, it will of course disconnect high voltage. On a petrol or diesel, it will shut off fuel pump and fuel line valves.

[@thefortnitecuh4900]

@@Xanthopteryx what’s your point?

[@Xanthopteryx]

@@thefortnitecuh4900 That Tesla action above, rolling forward, is less safe than coasting along. But something is strange by this described rear ending: 50 mph? I have no idea about that strange customary unit, except that 50 mph is pretty fast. If you are rear ended at that speed, the car is not something you can repair... And near airbag deployed? That is, odd... Seems like he/she was not rear ended at 50 mph, and if so, the driver of the rear ended car was travelling like 45 or so... Or he/she was stationary and the car behind almost came to a stop.

The seat belt tensioners in my V90 can be quite alarming when activate. They really pull hard. My car has twice done an emergency stop when a large bird, probably a pigeon, flew across the path of the car. In one case it fully stopped. In the other it sharply slowed, then release the brakes as the bird passed. Both occasions were at maybe 30MPH.

[@philbarrett3739]

So now we need to be careful of people 'emergency stopping' on a straight road because a bird flies past? There's enough idiots on the roads without cars being dangerous on their behalf.

[@thomashammel524]

I love this video! Very unbiased. What should also be stated that is far too often understated, is that the driver ultimately is accountable for the safety of themselves and others. Automatic mitigations such as autopilot and FSD are just that. Electronic systems designed to improve safety. Tesla and other manufactures require you to agree to disclaimers that they are not infallible, and that the driver is always accountable in the end. I believe we are still a ways off from transferring any risk to automation.

[@kricksks]

10:20 - Mat's interview with Elon haha

[@kamilb8232]

I used to official test these systems for an OEMs. It may seem stopping further away is better, but that's not always the best. It may seem counter intuitive, but keep in mind there may be vehicles behind you and you also want to give them enough space to avoid you. Hence manufacturers typically try to balance braking distance between 0-2 meters away from the target.

[@AleksanderHoff]

I disagree.. if the car behind you cannot stop when you are 4-6 meters away from target, it cannot stop at 0-2 meters either.. the Volvo started breaking later. Meaning the distance the car behind had to stop would have been the exact same in both situations. However, if the car behind hit the Tesla, it might not get pushed into the pedestrian or car in front due to some extra leeway.

[@kamilb8232]

@@AleksanderHoff Wrong assumptions. As I said, it's a closed loop system. The distance the car has to brake behind is more with Volvo because Volvo takes longer to brake by letting off the brakes a bit. Tesla ADAS system appears to request max braking from the brake controller here and that's about it.

[@peterg4205]

@@kamilb8232 The video suggests that the volvo Reacted later, not that it took longer to stop.

[@kamilb8232]

@@peterg4205 It may have been both. There are TTC (Time to Collison) calibrations in these vehicles to determine when to brake. You typically want to set those as late as possible to prevent nuisance braking. But if the conditions are right, the closed loop system will decrease the amount of braking it requests from the brake controller if it detects that it will have enough space to avoid the target with less braking. This is all actively calculated based on the rate of deceleration it's seeing during the emergency stop.

Hello Jaijaun Hou, I feel your frustration at not being able to scare the krap out of him. It's nice that you didn't hit him. I had a slightly different situation. I was waiting at a light and it turned green to allow me to drive. I made a right turn (right turn signal on and flashing white waiting for t light to change). While making the turn a pedestrian walked (with the green light) but he walked into the back half of the work van I was driving. Since I started from a dead stop I was not traveling at anything more than a slow pace. His reaction after hitting the van was to hit it with his fist. I stopped and Sked if he is was hurt. His reply implied that I deliberately attempted to run him down/run him over. I pointed out to him where he contacted the vehicle. It didn't mollify him. After hearing an angry horn symphony (from blocking the street) I drove away as there wasn't anything else that could do. I'm still puzzled after so many years have passed how and why he contacted the van?

I haven't had a laugh like this in a long time. Thank you carwow and Matt!

When I drove my friends XC60 a dark night and a moose ran up on the road the car warned me and also stopped. A real life test, its good for me.

Great video. I would just add information to the dog situation. The dog's colour (deep black, not reflective), and not just the size, might be possibly the reason why it was hit even by the Tesla. It doesn't stand out from the background. Just remember that Tesla uses the white road markings to keep in the lane. If you want to test this theory use a dog with another colour. For example I tried this out on an automatic hand dryer by putting on matt black gloves. The dryer simply wouldn't start, because it's sensors can not pick up the trigger light, as no light reflects back from the material. Without the gloves the dryer worked completely fine.

Are we sure that the Tesla has a radar system? I was under the impression that Elon decided to remove those in the newest 3 & Y and only rely on the cameras? This would partly explain why the Tesla braked for the kangaroo... Would you be able to repeat this test at night when it rains? My theory is that, should there be a difference, it would be in favour of the Volvo as it definitely has a radar system 🤔 Fun review as always!

[@djarcas]

Nope. None of the new ones have got Radar.

[@theshyguy3269]

Nope the Volvo would be worse as radar is pretty bad in rainy situations. Camera is the way to go for autonomy but a few radars would be helpful

I’m curious if the cat or dog were moving if the cameras would have treated it differently. Also would FSD Bets act differently since the software stack is different. I know they are always playing with Tesla vision and obstacle detection/ identification so I’m curious if the system would see a moving object different from a static object.

[@alanrickett2537]

This system would not but the FSD beta system would.
