Expensive to Fix

[celwin]

Waaaaaaait a minute, what about the autonomous braking and the other safety junk? I figure if it can sense a pedestrian, surely it could see a wall?

I thought exactly the samething myself when I was testing it. Backup very slowly in my garage to see if it would automatically stop. I chickened out around 4 inches from the wall. Maybe some other factors has to be in play for it to work?

I don’t the emergency braking works In Reverse.

Ah, I was thinking she meant she was pulling forward into the garage and ran into the wall.

Oh noooo, sorry to hear of your accident, main thing your'e ok .

Good point. She never specified. I assumed. Hopefully she can confirm which way she was going.

Yep, gong in front first.

Well. That is a problem then. Might inquire to Kia corporate on how/why autonomous emergency braking didn’t work. Kind of important.

From Kia "In certain situations, the Forward Collision Avoidance Assistance-Car may activate and apply the brakes to help reduce the effects of a possible impact."
Is the system supposed to actually stop the car, or just slow it down? I'm assuming she was going really slow when entering the garage, maybe slow enough so the system didn't kick on?

A classic example of $HIT HAPPENS!

So not to steal this thread. But a few years back a buddy of mine was sick, coming home from the doctor. Had to "pass gas" and lifted up. He was wearing leather soled shoes. The gas, had friends. He freaked out a little, and moved. Foot slipped off the brake pedal onto the gas. Floored it right into the back of the person infront of him.

The person was pissed, then realized what was happening in my friend's car and started laughing. The cop was laughing so hard he couldn't write him a ticket.

Back on topic!
OP- Shit happens. We are happy your okay, the car can get fixed!

This happened to me a few summers ago, a big Huntsman Spider appeared from behind the passenger sun visor...
luckily I was aware of it's presence just as I was driving off so it didn't scare me enough that I drove into the back of someone.

I just pooped a bit.

I’d burn the car down. Kill it with fire.

What the hell is up with the snakes, spiders, and giant pissed off kangaroos? What did Australia do to deserve this????

And rogue delk, a pet no less, killed its owner a few months ago. Aus, the land of strange/dangerous fauna.

Emergency braking won’t work at slow speeds. It’s not meant to prevent running into a wall at 2mph. It’s meant to prevent running into a car at 30mph.

You remember that picture of the burned up Stinger on the trailer? I'm going to venture a guess that a spider was found in there and did that jump disappear move that they do.

That's why the British sent their prisoners there. .
Quite a few years ago coming back from a nightclub I was driving and my mate in the passenger seat said "Pull over, just pull over". I did he then said" Duck down in the seat and slowly look up" There was a big arsed Huntsmen spider right above my head. My head was about an inch or two from the roof. Luckily I was quite pissed (alcohol) at the time..

This kind of talk is not good for tourism. You guys know that, right?

[Last Lemming Alive]

WTF! Where does a spider the size of medium size dog get into these cars!? Please tell me because when I get back home I’m plugging that hole right up! I’ll expand foam the whole car if I have to.

And thanks - now I’m never going to Australia
