Re: Volvo Trucks - Collision warning & Emergency braking at its best! The article mentions "With inputs from Kriess" which means they have received or verified some sort of written communications from logistics company. Just because it's contradicting our own understanding on the technology and that situation, we just can't take in a way the article is a clickbait.
And what is there to believe this, if only manufacturer claims? The investigations itself was done along with Volvo and that's what the article says.
Leave away investigations, a knowledge on the working on Volvo's emergency brakes ( even MAN EBA) will tell, if there is an intervention in braking by truck, Post stopping, hazards will be On automatically. In this case it's clear that there is no sign of hazard lights glowing, which itself is an indication of manual braking.
And why expect a manufacturer to come and disprove something which is actually bringing positive feedback for them. In fact by now you would have got a communication from Volvo, if it was due to emergency braking, claiming the technological superiority of their trucks.
And even after quoting all, I will still vote for Volvo in this case, reason without an effective foundation and ancillary brakes, trucks wouldn't have stopped in such short distance (even if it was automatic).
