>No, but I mean all cars for some time now have to include anti-collision radar as standard,

The way these work is by tracking other moving objects around you rather than stationary objects you are approaching.

It'll track another car to see if it emergency brakes or changes lane too close to you, but it won't track a parked car on the road that you side swipe or head into etc.




The Subaru’s camera system definitely tracks stationary objects, and it’s obnoxiously sensitive. The vehicle throws a beeping tantrum when approaching steep hills or roundabouts at any speed above a crawl. It will auto-brake for a birthday balloon in the road. Pretty sure this overturned truck would set it off.
