im guessing this is an optional extra so very few of us will ever get to drive a truck fitted with it

this looks like a better system since it flashes the main beams to call the offending driver a ■■■■ for you

2 questions.
What would it be like at 44 ton?
How would it work in stop/start traffic?
Just curious
Great! Only the guy behind you might not have that fitted, rams into you and shoves you into the motor you’ve just avoided!

it does seem to be a very specific test and not an everyday scenario. motorway with some prat almost stationary or actually stationary on the carriageway. a case of what it can do, not what it will do

That would be his problem then, wouldn’t it?

A system designed to get ■■■■ drivers out of the trouble they have got them selves into!

It will work in that scenario as well, as seen in the second vid.
That’s brilliant , then the truck driver has to stop and restack his load. Lol. 
I’ve read somewhere that the truck is only doing about 50km/h in that film, still very impressive though!
both show the offending vehicle at a steady pace whether moving or stationary which i suppose would simulate a truck driver not paying attention and approaching a blocked motorway. the system would prevent a multi vehicle pile up. what would it do when the car in front is driving erraticly or slams the anchors on to cut across the hatched area to leave the motorway? that could quite easily confuse the sensors as they are now picking up an object which is not staying in a straight line. the videos dont show how the system actually makes its decisions
Heres one from Brazil .

this was Volvo’s first attempt at it
from 2015 every new truck must have this
and lane assist
and adaptive cruise control
and stability control
and traction control
oh and possibly 12 wheel studs/nuts per wheel as originally 10 studs were designed for 32/38 ton and in the day possibly 300-450bhp
lovely even more cheap crap to go wrong
