Consumer Reports Makes A Convincing Argument For Brake Override Systems in All Cars

Submitted by Danny on March 25, 2010 - 3:43pm.

Consumer Reports posted a 6 minute video making the case on why electronic brake override systems should be installed in all cars. In the below video they test a pre-recall Toyota Avalon and a post-recall Toyota Camry to compare braking distances while applying both the brakes and the accelerator. Needless to say, the pre-recall Avalon took over triple the amount of distance to brake as it normally does without the accelerator depressed.

Very good presentation of the facts on why this safety feature is a must-have in all future cars.
