If I'm reading the table correctly, there was only one vehicle for which reflective strips were worse than normal clothing (the Mazda), for the Honda reflective strips didn't always help but don't seem to have hurt (judging by the body text they did on the order of 12 tests, so 9% vs 0% is 1/12 vs 0/12).

- pfedak 2y agoyou're reading the table correctly but it's been reproduced incorrectly and had its title removed from the original source https://www.iihs.org/news/detail/high-visibility-clothing-may-thwart-pedestrian-crash-prevention-sensors https://www.iihs.org/news/detail/high-visibility-clothing-ma... i'm not clear from that how many trials were run for each test condition, but the percentage is average speed reduction, not a chance for binary hit/not hit. edit: the paper pdf says up to three trials each.

- Aloisius 2y ago> If I'm reading the table correctly, there was only one vehicle for which reflective strips were worse No. It was all three vehicles. The table is average speed reduction. Reflective strips had a lower average speed reduction than black clothing in every case except for the Subaru at 0 and 20 lux and the Honda at 0 lux.
