I think it is kind of unfair to apply your own intuition without any tests. Perhaps the average human will see there is something weird in front without being conscious of it (e.g. the lack of the white lines etc.) that is you would see it without seeing it. Or at least enough to slow down a little and be more cautious going forward. It is pretty hard to know this without doing tests.
- MBCook 5y agoYou’re right, that’s possible. But from that video this looks like the kind of thing an attentive driver could easily miss until it was too late. Maybe they’d start breaking but would they have stopped anywhere near in time? I doubt it.
- runarberg 5y agoWe don’t know unless we test it. But an attentive drive might at least increase their alertness when the stop seeing the headlights of the oncoming traffic, step off their gas pedal when the lane lines starts to disappear, and apply a significant amount of breaking when they finally notice the car, making the accident at least not as bad.
