Mercedes-Benz Actros - Active Brake Assist 2

[LondonItalian]

It is a good thing, its been in cars for some time.

I cant read German & I have a question, can it be overridden? I ask because it would be fairly easy for this truck to be hijacked otherwise.

[TheLolisuck]

and the people behind the truck??

[stevey2020]

@TheLolisuck you'd like to think that the people behind the truck could stop quicker than the truck.. unless it was a heavier truck. Then they'd be screwed.

[dddddddgggggggggg]

I wudnt like to be the one driveing that car

[deCamenoI]

FAKE FAKE FAKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEE

[DuhuKaralius]

at 1:00 I thought it gonna' roll a bumblee out of itself ...

[gp75motorsports]

Some of the stuff Mercedes comes up with just amazes me. Excellent work, guys!

[sikerbela]

This ill be helpful for Turkish truck drivers. They are the best in traffic but may become the worst ever..

[MarkofZollo]

@ 2:00 driver reacts with evasion......into oncoming traffic!

[MarkofZollo]

What you don't see is the truck driver slamming the brake pedal 'cos it hasn't worked!!

[sentineloffreedom]

what does "Notbremsung Beendet!" mean?... PAY FUCKING ATTENTION!!! lol and yes, one German exclamation point equates to three English ones :P

[ClaudioSL619]

@sentineloffreedom finished emergency braking

[sentineloffreedom]

@ClaudioSL619 Thanks :)

[alexs87]

1:27 is a really close call, the scene after is not so close.

[tatdog100]

hydrolics 1:30

[lappaw]

I know a better break and anti-crash system. A use of a FUCKING BRAIN.

[JET997u]

If all trucks had Active Brake Assist, that big pile-up in Florida last week probably wouldn't have happened (or at least been greatly reduced).

[TheStealthbob]

No wonder it stops...the stopped car has its own stop sign on the rear.

[69Capslock]

This is on my bicycle

[1984doruk1984]

if camion has 40000 LBS............

[ballickmoyler]

Thats a great system. Now the driver can continue his little sleep uninterrupted with loud bangs.

[bugjuicer]

aaand what about if it's wet, and/or a full load trailer? Awesome system, just wanna see this stuff tested too

[bugjuicer]

not sure that it's a great idea that it automatically stops dead, even tho the vehicle in front has moved on. Can see that being a prob on a busy motorway!

[phroth248]

I love how the lights are flashing automatically. Like, get the fuck of, you slow coward in front of me :)

[karizma7648]

1.26 &1.50 was a clear crash,if u consider the onboard view

[X5CrNiMo17122]

@karizma7648

I don´t think they would use videos of failed tests and even if that is the case, it is still better than nothing.

[Kukondra]

А если груженный???

[chris7jakarta]

the emergency braking in the beginning has to be to a full stop with a moving object in front of it?? what about traffic behind the truck?

[nlty2000]

what if the driver steers off while the machine brakes automatically, does it jack knife and tip over?

[PhilipMendozaImages]

@nlty2000 pwnt, watch 1:58

[gluemanred]

I want to see two trucks with this system following each other!!

[faithless8888]

I LOVE MERCEDES-BENZ as well as there trucks, cars and (believe it or not) bikes!!

[MrBosanacBIH]

I want that truck :)))

[pimpjuice750]

fully load or not, its still better than nothing

[gearheadtedm]

how about when its fully loaded...

[TransAmDrifter]

and then SMACK!!!! Another truck without that system smashed both of them :D

[3teethleft]

1:26 it doesnt stop in time

[20solo20]

What a truck

[xxnanixx36]

1:27 sieht eher anch nem voll treffer aus

[TheSRalston]

Damn, if I was the driver on that C class, I would either turn the rear view mirror away or be very nervous, lol...great to see this.

[TheSRalston]

Watching the video and the sign on the truck, it it interesting how each company has their own font or type of letter, which is easily identifiable. Don´t know the names of them, but this is the font Mercedes uses in their catalogues, and so do, with their own font, Volvo, BMW and Audi, on their catalogues, manuals, and on the interior of cars.

[pear928]

The man driving the sedan must get paid about $50m a year.

[asdfasdfasdf1409]

Tolle Technik, Kompliment. Aber was, wenn der LKW hinter diesem NICHT mit dem System ausgestattet ist? Für ein wirklich funktionierendes System müssten ALLE LKW damit ausgestattet sein.

[22JRDN55]

why does it stop? you're endangering whoever is behind you!

[Peacefulhumanbeing]

amazing. German and Japanese tech are the best. Great job once again...

[iranair777]

Bouncy bouncy :D

[ysayad]

If i was the C-class i will shit myself :D

[monkeymatt2]

Would of thought if they were 100% confident in the system, have a Merc SLS sitting there instead :D

[22dimethylhexane]

@monkeymatt2 they even took it to crash test. Yes, every car needs to do that.

[zack5417]

Who else was hoping for him to slam into that car＼(^o^)／

[weeblerbob]

there was a really bad crash on the highway where i live where a semi crush a minivan and killed 2 kids and injured everyone else. it was because the truck rear ended the van! if it was this, it wouldnt have happened!

you know though, what happens when the truck comes to a complete stop. then whoeever is behind him.... o well. ha

[WatteHackShow]

What if the driver doesnt reacts..

[000simsim000]

@WatteHackShow you die

[peterabujaber]

Mercedes-Benz.

[lesokier]

I want to see no cuts scene!

[Twixx32]

@lesokier yes i mean look at 1:50 . i just can't believe it stopped from 80kmh to 0 in .. what is that .. 30-40 meters ? ..

[E7Psalmsoftheplanets]

If a chicken cross the street, say hello and kiss the windshield!

[assailant85]

@E7Psalmsoftheplanets you might want to recheck your knowledge about radar systems bro.

[asirolli]

Sem comentarios, esse caminhão está cada vez melhor.

[ebradahusla]
