Curious if the car weighs the risk of getting rearended when it decides to be cautious in situations like this. I have a feeling human drivers do to some degree.
- ghaff 4y ago>I have a feeling human drivers do to some degree. Sure. In general, people will try not to hit the brakes any harder than they have to especially if they have the situational awareness to know someone is close (maybe too close) behind them.
- dzdt 4y agoMore often in my experience they will randomly tap the brakes to try to get the person behind them to back off: "brake check".
- pclmulqdq 4y agoIf you tend to drive too close behind people, you will see this happen a lot - people really don't like getting involved in highway pile-ups, so it's better to give you a brake check than to wait until it actually matters. However, it is very rare for people to "brake check" you unless you do that.
- antisthenes 4y agoThis only happens when someone is following at speed and does not maintain the proper distance. Brake checking at yield signs and stop signs isn't really a thing.
