AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING TEST VS TESLA S 3 X AUDI ETRON JAGUAR IPACE VW GOLF CITY SAFETY

EV Channels Review

This video conducts a series of automatic emergency braking (AEB) tests using a cardboard cutout of Elon Musk as a surrogate pedestrian. The reviewer found that Tesla models (Model X, Model 3, and a 2019 Model S P100D) generally performed well, with the AEB system activating effectively, though with variations in timing and intensity. Notably, the system seemed more proactive when the driver was still on the accelerator. The Audi e-tron 55 Quattro demonstrated effective braking up to 25 mph but failed at higher speeds. The Jaguar I-Pace and a 2015 Tesla Model S showed poor or non-existent AEB functionality, with the reviewer suggesting these systems may not be reliable or functional. The VW Golf GTE's AEB also failed to activate during the tests, despite the reviewer's prior experience with its functionality in other scenarios. Overall, Teslas provided the most consistent AEB performance, while other brands showed significant limitations.
