Pre-Collision Assist and pedestians

[Sofa King]

Not too familiar with the feature (yet)... Does it pick up pedestrians? Reason I ask is because I had the warning come on the other morning... I was turning left at an intersection and there was a jogger on the sidewalk, who happened to basically stay in front of the car as it was turning and he was running that direction. As soon as I finished the turn the warning shut off. First time I have seen it activate...

Can't help you there. But is true you can blacklist cyclists on the system?

I think I need a score card for cyclists... they are worth 50 points!

I could never work out the croc thing. We saw them all over north Italy

I tried it a couple times. Ran over the pedestrian both times. The first one was just a test. The second one was a confirmation. I decided not to try it a third time.

It does catch dump trucks flying through the store front of Target's. Caught that event at the bottom of the mountain it came down yesterday. Flew right by me across a parking lot, into the Target. Just another day....except not for the little car it tore the front end off of.

Back to pedestrians, hit one and it will be a bad day for both the ped. and the driver. There is a certain place in town I wish they were legal targets. They act like they aren't and they know what they're doing. Trash.

We get those w ers here too, acting staunch as they saunter across the road. It's very tempting to nail it, but I hate cleaning any kind of s**t off my car.
I saw an Aussie vid recently where cylists were holding up traffic on purpose, until a bogun in a Falcon did nail it and blasted through the middle. By a miracle, he missed all of them.
