As presented, this looks like a pretty classic "overdriving your headlights" situation.
Even though they're made of retroreflective material, only two lane divider dashes at a time can be seen in the video, indicating something like 50 feet of visibility. Stopping from 38 mph takes 70+ feet from the time the brakes are applied (and human reaction time adds quite a bit more). Things (people, animals, stopped cars, road hazards) appear in the road fairly routinely. If you can't stop inside the area you can see, you're operating your vehicle recklessly.
- hndamien 9y agoI agree, but I would expect that the real human visibility is greater than what the car camera is capturing here. It's a bit like trying to film with your iPhone at night - you can definitely see much more than what your camera sees.
- AstralStorm 9y agoThis would mean the camera is insufficient for driving a car safely at night. Can we get the LIDAR recording though?
