I drive one of these trucks and had a driver cut me up to come off the junction on the m6 jnc15 (uk) if the auto brake did not kick in my reactions alone would not have stopped the truck in time and that car driver may not be alive today .. excellent truck trust no other !

[@apocalypto559]

the system also isnt perfect, espcially on dual lane bends without road markings

[@LazerLord10]

Automation like this is the direction vehicles need to take, IMO. Adding features that automatically do things when the human mind fails is way better than letting the machine do all the work in every situation (which is impossible). This automation doesn't encourage drivers to be less attentive, and it only activates when the human has failed.

[@luk3334]

Why the hazard warning lights are not switched on automatically to warn the traffic behind the truck ???

[@volvotrucks]

luk3334 The brake lights are switched on when the truck starts auto-braking. The truck slows down a good amount of time before emergency braking to a full stop.

[@HunGredy]

+luk3334 For a truck that big, it does need some distance to stop. With a car that's only a fragment of it. If you pay attention like you should when driving, you will immediately hit your brakes as soon as the truck's brakelights go on.

[@jnevercast]

Brake lights also flash when aggressive braking is performed by driver or the emergency system

[@Johnny-fu6oc]

The hazard lights do come on when the truck comes to a full stop.

[@juliocrivelaro2417]

Parabens a volvo é uma excelente conquista

[@BigDawgRey95]

I see a lot of concern for the drivers behind the truck, and I kind of get the worry; a non-attentive driver may very well end up rear-ending the semi, which would suck for the car driver. However, even with this awesome system, a semi (whether fully loaded or not) won't be stopping faster than a car with standard brakes would be able to. I guarantee that no matter how fast a truck stops in front of me, if I have a reasonable following distance (which is a no-brainer when I follow a semi, since I like to have time to dodge potholes and whatnot that the truck would obstruct), I'll be able to stop far faster than it, regardless of how great the truck's system is. It's just physics, my 1.5 ton car will stop faster than a 14 or 40 ton semi. If the driver isn't paying attention or is being a tailgaiting asshole, well then... the result would probably be the same regardless of if the truck had this system or not.

[@svergie2]

Well, if the truck crashes won't the car behind crash into the trailer anyway?

[@2424Goldie]

Just to answer the both of you, when the system detects a crash the brake lights will flash faster the harder the system brakes. Check in the videos that Volvo Trucks made and you will see

[@petergilbert144]

Preston Ray What if the car behind the trick also has emergency braking? That would be a cool thing to watch a line of cars with autonomous braking to react in a line.

[@NoCharName]

If you are following a truck on a highway and you do not maintain safe distance, then you deserve to rear that truck.

My Dad is a trucker and one day a cat did just runned over the street, we just wanted to leave the Highway (in Germany) and a cat did come, he did reacted so quick! These brakes will make the life of much drives more safe. Some drive soo long and get a bit dizzy and lost some reaction, this will help to protect all.

Wow - what a fantastic system! Truly innovation at its very best. One question, out of interest - what tyres were fitted to the truck being used in the test?

[@MimikaHaru]

it is a really impressive system and a marvel of a truck

[@evanplatt1149]

Hi question for you Volvo, first the system looks amazing, but will it work at higher speeds - that is to say it appears in the video it applies the brakes. But what if the truck is travelling faster (in reality I've seen some trucks doing 75-80 MPH). So in a case like that, will the truck (automatically) stop further in advance, or will the truck first automatically slow and THEN stop if needed?

[@andrescaradepez]

quedo sorprendido. TODOS los vehículos deberían tener ese tipo de tecnología o alguna similar.

[@UniversalGamingUK]

thank-you for the reply :)

[@Buddys57]

I could do with one of those.Terrific

[@prathameshdalal2901]

Amazing and this will be very useful. Hope it detects 2 wheeler or single human walking on road as well. Does it covers objects in ground clearance level as well?? Of course not below the truck but in front of truck. ??

[@techdavey3486]

Superb! What the 38 tonner at the traffic lights in Worcester didn't have (sorry didn't see you mate!) My car was rear-ended and catapulted straight across the crossroad in spite of a red traffic light but luckily the junction was clear. Fortunately the car's seat back collapsed owing to the phenomenal acceleration so I was not hurt. Unfortunately they don't make cars like that anymore. These days anyone in a bump like that would be claiming for whiplash but in the good old days people were more honest than they are now.

[@abdulillo]

Does this system take into account the conditions of the road (icy, bumpy..) and the conditions of the truck's wheels? I guess those factors would alter the results of the calculations with just the distance and the speed

Of course, yes, all that does it automatically.

How powerful are the brakes? Like lets say you had whatever the maximum gross rating is on these trucks, going 65mph,, what would be its braking distance?

[@tonygrady2374]

in UK, we are governed to 56 mph. ...90kmh, we don't do 65...!

[@danielcisneros6941]

Amazing, thanks for translate the subtitules to spanish.

[@gtbsaraiva]

What if the road is wet? The system considers the diferent weights of the truck on the breaking system (fully loaded or unloaded)?

[@alzoubimohammad]

I have a question. What is the difference between the Sexuel and the Furwell in ice. Does Furwell work on Canada's roads?

[@royerviatoro7256]

Yo amo estos camiones son una verdadera maravilla. Volvo son los mejores. Del mundo

[@whoandcar]

With such an powerful brake, what happens qwith the cars behind the truck? Will they be able to stop that fast?

[@gateway8833]

Very Nice, How come we can't get such cool trucks like this here in the US.

[@GaryGoldberg-DigiMark]

Seems like a great system and even if a percentage of these types of collisions are prevented it would be worth every penny to refit as many trucks and cars as possible. I do wonder how it would perform at higher highway speeds, with an unstable or unsecured loading shifting in response to the delta-V or in inclement weather (can't cheat physics) but any improvement will be welcome. Thanks Volvo!

[@UniversalGamingUK]

are Volvo Fh's manual or automatic? And what do you use to load the truck? Concrete blocks or water tanks?

[@IrwinDeGannes]

how does it handle against emergency braking while turning a sharp corner or bend?

[@WestGamesTV1]

Are the trailers empty or maximum load on the tests. I and my close friend wondering that a long time. Thanks for answer.

[@miladibrahim1068]

They said its 40 tons so obviously loaded because the vehicle itself is somewhere around 15-18 tons

[@jitegemee]

How effective would the brake system be when the surface is wet?? I am pretty sure hydro-plane effect would make the vehicle slide and hit the object, or is there a preventative system in place??

[@shabirkhan8387]

Greatest

[@M4ExKalashnikov]

Is it possible for system to brake when car/truck cut off the driver? For example on intersection, from right... Would system react to that sudden change and warn the driver or it's not predicted to react in extreme situations?

[@andriustamasauskas]

show me the test on snow, does system analyzing weather condition, does it analyzing other lanes? what if the the half of car on your lane? or does it react if someone unexpectedly pull in front of the truck from other lane.

[@Grotesque18]

What about wet surface? How will the system take less grip into account and calculate optimal braking duration?

[@AbsolutCF]

I love such automatically systems ;-)

[@krutomjer]

omg volvo, make some documentaries please

[@SIGURDRH]

How does this system work in winter time on ice? Does the brakes lock up and the truck starts to slide and becomes uncontrollable?

[@Thwack992]

"Here at Volvo, we take one look at physics, flip it off, call it a piece of shit, and do what we want."

[@Paradinha14]

Amazing! But what about higher speeds? How much does it take (in time and length) to go from 100km/h to 0km/h?

[@volvotrucks]

Depends on the road conditions and the speed of the vehicle in front of the truck. With regard to the safety margin it is set to a minimum in order to avoid false brake interventions. The system constantly monitors the situation ahead and it makes no difference if the car in front travels at constant speed or is braking. Of course not all accidents can be avoided, but in the situations where the accident cannot be avoided (for example if the car in front brakes very hard at a short distance or if the road surface has very low friction) the accident will be much less severe since CW-EB will mitigate the accident by reducing the impact speed. The reason for the truck coming to a complete stop at this specific demonstration was that it came below the activation speed. At higher speeds it will adjust the braking in order to match the speed of the vehicle ahead. It is also always possible for the driver to override the braking.

[@Paradinha14]

The technology used on Volvo's Trucks is amazing. This will really avoid many accidents or make them less fatal, I was just very curious because I had the impression that this braking system seemed stronger than the high speed sportive cars, but with a truck weight of over 40 tons...

[@JohannAb]

I love VOLVO TRUCK and RENAULT TRUCK

[@Ivan4es1]

What if it will be in turning, laser have some angle to observe? And what if it will be throttling, not cruise control?

[@naumankazi4113]

[@adaline825]

Can you do the same test at 80km with fully load condition?

[@Znitso]

Peter sundfeldt? Motorjournalen om jag inte missminner mig? Jävlar vad länge sen :D

[@bigmclargehuge8219]

My question is, if the driver hit the brakes at the same time the automatic system would kick in, would that be enough to stop the truck? Like.. I guess what I'm wondering is there anything special about the automatic system breaking vs a regular person breaking. Not in terms of like, reaction or whatever. But more in a sense of, do the breaks from the automate system work harder than if the driver was breaking? If that makes any sense. It blows my mind how quickly it can stop and I'd like to see a comparison of human stopping vs it.

[@jetstream321]

Holy crap this is scary. I know im not in it but im just gritting my teeth at how close it is!

[@notoco1199]

Does it work without cruise control with foot on gas pedal?

[@wisataakhirpekan]

damn... this technology should be implemented widely.

[@jdmfh47]

Does the trailer have brakes or is it all the truck stopping power?

[@user-vy1sd1ll8e]

I love volvo truck

[@davidgaming95]

what about heavy cargo? would like to see a demonstration of the braking when the truck is hauling a trailer full of cars..

[@oppfattet]

Its up to the driver to secure his cargo efficiently, and securely, its actually a part of his job to do that. And if your cargo isn't properly secured you'd drive carefully anyway, with or without the safety systems I'm sure. There's also a way to de-activate the collision-system.

[@erintheangry]

How are the brakes THAT effective? Is there a set of brakes on every wheel now or something?

[@876trucking]

omg that is very good I subscribe and like it but 1 thing whot abowt behind the truck?

[@arpatech]

I wonder if it works better at 50 or it would work also on higher velocicity.

[@josephh1379]

Volvo Trucks: What would happen when you put on a lighbar or someting like that ? Then the sensor has to be in another postion doesn´t it ? And what would happen when there`s a truck in front of ? when the system brakes so hard an so closely to the others ther would be a touch coused of the suspension wouldn´t it ?

[@AbsolutCF]

Do the system detect snow or rain? And what happens if the driver keeps on the gas pedal? Nevertheless this system is a good way to save lives.

[@sandqwert]

What else would you recommend?... if the person behind you does not keep a safe distance, there's no warning that you can actually implement to avoid them rear ending you, with or without CW-EB....

[@parallell0]

What if u are in a non collision zone? Will it still brake?

[@cegonhanoturna01]

This is standart or optional in new Volvo FH? Like he said, every truck and cars should have this system.

[@sonofkikkoman]

I wonder if this system can adjust itself to match with tire wear/pressure and weather conditions?

[@alanpenaloza2642]

It adapts to everything thanks to the abs, radar, camera and etc, it does not fail and if there is an impact it does so with little damage

[@WestGamesTV1]

ooh god. ı missed to hear that. thx nsfigaro ..

[@ganeethshivrajsundar1050]

you do this also in the volvo cars???

[@CatAywa]

I guess yes now

[@SuperNikpan]

I wonder about the results on wet surface... And how about the 40 tons of load? The feedback must be huge. And the cargo must be loaded properly that the feedback doesnt affect it... Good work but the reality is a bit different. (sorry for my bad english)

[@GoldenTV3]

There should be something to detect how slippery the ground is and account that into automatically braking or the warning system.

[@machnoman]

As a professional driver I think this looks to be a great safety feature, but I have a couple questions. Is it available for trucks in the U.S.? Looks to be a European model in the video. Is the system able to adjust braking time needed as related to the weight of the truck? A light or empty truck can actually take longer to stop due to tire skid

[@machnoman]

***** yes U.S. truck have airbags, been driving for 12 years and have never had a truck without them. Also u mentioned no retarder. If u mean engine retarder you are mis-informed. Pretty much every U.S. truck is equipped with that

[@aeroscout113]

Matt Strand What do you mean by engine retarder? The type of retarder Carnatics was talking about is the retarder fitted between engine and gearbox or on the transmision, and uses pressurised oil to limit the vehicles' speed. If I remember well, the EU law says that it must hold a fully loaded truck at 30km/h on a 7% downhill gradient for 6km. It is not the same thing as the exhaust brake, or exhaust retarder, where a valve creates exhaust back-pressure in order to rev down the engine.

[@punnyabrata]
