Do these auto braking systems still operate when you’re not using the cruise control?

Guess I won’t be buying anymore new trucks. Not that I had really planned on it anyway

Snag a T800 next year, they will not have it.

Yes
Mine before they figured out the plate thing would do it even while accelerating

I’m looking for the proof that these systems will save lives.

There isn’t any from when they are being tested to the safety efficacy of these systems just speculation.

Like antilock brakes, these systems will cause more problems than they solve. In the case of antilock brakes in cars, there was an upsurge in accidents when they were introduced in mass because people thought they could stop faster and got lazy in their driving skills.

A lot of these safety systems in both cars and trucks come from universities and safety consultants which are in it for the money. Grants drive safety, outcomes are predetermined by the people giving the grants and it is used for this mandate crap, just like this idea diesel particles kill people, no proof of it in the United States, all the data comes from Asia and Europe.

Just taking a ride in one self-driving truck with a load on it a few weeks back, the engineer controlling the truck admitted that human nature and physics of an accident that puts other vehicles in harms ways in milliseconds can’t be predicted with these systems and failure of some systems like lane departure warning systems makes self-driving vehicles to avoid an incident or debris no where close as well as a human. This is proven with Teslas self-driving systems which are on the bleeding edge of the technology.

For a minute there I sounded like you were talking about the vaccine.

So are the governed Company Drivers going to just keep the pedal to the metal, and let the Truck brake automatically when needed?
