With computer controlled braking, the car could spin around to take the hit on a front corner. This would provide the least danger to the occupant while not hitting the people. Though it does assume the truck is not stopping. In all likelihood it would just stop assuming the truck would stop... The same call any human driver would make if they weren't texting or otherwise distracted. It doesn't have to be perfect, just better than today on odds.
- chernevik 11y agoNo it couldn't. Spinning -> less traction -> less stopping power -> longer stopping distance.
