I’m pretty sure the Active brake assist doesn’t work below 20mph. It’s also different to the other systems where it detects moving objects, so it wouldn’t break for a traffic island or a parked car for example. This is probably the reason why it didn’t detect the car and the ABA didn’t kick in. Also it would have struggled to stop on that surface in time if it had kicked in. Great videos mate keep them coming

Automatic braking is not meant to do the driver's job. It is meant to ASSIST the driver.

When I tested the automatic breaking system on our Subaru, I used a pile of larg cardboard boxes. Drove towards them at 50 kph. It worked! The car stopped with about 4 centimeters to spare, and I hung in the safety belt! You maybe should have used a pile of boxes also for the test. Those automatic braking systems should not rely on how soft the object is, but always break.

I get your point, and it is a valid one, but the way the editors made those animations is to point out which lights activated when and made sure that none of them overlapped the next ones. This so that people not experienced with the different lights know which ones are related and so on. It's definitely not a standard method, but a good one nonetheless. That's just my opinion and I fully respect yours.
