> In vehicle-to-vehicle front crash prevention tests, the Ram 1500 avoided collisions at both 12 mph and 25 mph. In most of the vehicle-to-pedestrian tests, it avoided hitting the pedestrian dummy or slowed substantially to mitigate the force of impact. However, the system failed to slow the vehicle at all in the 37-mph trial designed to simulate an adult pedestrian walking in the travel lane in the same direction as the vehicle. So the standard they met fails to even slow down the car when seeing an adult pedestrian at a speed that is a fraction of the driving speed in nearly every American city. A handful of American cities have 25mph limits within the city but most drivers are driving at east 5-10 mph above that, which is kind of written into American DOT standards (which require speed limits to be set at 85% of the average driving speed on a road).
