| ![]() The BMW X1 has spectacularly failed the IIHS pedestrian safety test. A video is doing the rounds where the car just drives over a dummy robot (not sure what to call it) crossing the road. The automotive media meanwhile are having a field day over it. Relevant section of video starts at 1:34: Quote:

| ![]() Although the video does show this happening, it is difficult to believe that BMW would peddle a feature and it would work so badly! Today, detecting a pedestrian is like ADAS technology 101! How would they have shipped a feature without testing. To be honest, sounds unbelievable to me. |
