Would modern car safety features stop you from defensively using your car as a weapon in a life-or-death scenario?
I’ve been thinking about how modern cars come with all these advanced fancy safety systems like auto emergency braking and collision avoidance. They’re great for preventing accidents, but what happens if you’re in a life-or-death situation where you need to use your car defensively?
ive been picturing the scene in Breaking Bad where Hank uses his car to hit the twin hitmen who are about to kill him. If he had been driving a newer car that auto-braked and refused to hit anything, what would happen?
Would the car’s safety features intervene and stop you from doing what’s necessary to save your life? Is there a way to override these features in an emergency?
