This question isn’t specific to the Mustang Mach E, but I’m hoping that Ford is using the same systems here.
A buddy of mine has a 2022 Ranger XLT with 302 and the Technology package. The vehicle comes with CoPilot 360 and Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking.
He was just in an unusual fender-bender. He was coming up to a T Intersection. He was coming up the vertical bar of the T and going to make a left at the intersection. On the horizontal bar of the T, at the intersection. there is a “STOP except for right turns) sign for all traffic proceeding left-to-right on the horizontal bar. My friend was about to make a left turn at the T intersection (onto the horizontal bar and going left). A BMW M5 appears on the horizontal bar going left to right and proceeds through the intersection without stopping. My friend’s truck hit the front passenger side of the BMW M5 (for those who are interested, there’s a small business at that corner with lots of CCTV. The local police are friends with the business owner and reviews the video as soon as they arrived. The video confirms the BMW M5 went through the STOP sign without stopping or even slowing. The BMW got a citation and the cop said he was at fault in the incident report).
Anyway, my question: my friend says that he had no collision warning and that the collision assist hadn’t kicked in. The weather conditions were sunny and his truck just came from the car wash, so it’s doubtful any sensors were obscured.
Any ideas why pre-collision assist didn’t react?
