Tesla issues massive recall of more than 2 million vehicles over autopilot safety concerns Tesla’s largest recall won’t fix Autopilot safety issues, experts say It even has topped the lists of many: The Biggest Car Recalls in History, Upda...

Re: Effects of Vehicle Braking on EDR Pre-Impact Speed
Another response was posted to the other forum i will summarize here and provide my answer: Q: Just to throw in an example the vehicle had speeds reported every 0.1 seconds. The collision was on wet roads, so realistically we are probably looking at values of mu no higher than 0.8 g. The last few re...

Re: Effects of Vehicle Braking on EDR Pre-Impact Speed
Look forward to evaluating that, if possible. First question: where did the speedometer data come from? a video? was this a full scale test? and/or why no EDR data? and how did you synch the speedometer with the ADR data?

Re: Effects of Vehicle Braking on EDR Pre-Impact Speed
When you mention ADR (Accident Data Recorder), i'm not sure what you mean? Do you mean the accelerations of the crash from airbag module data and then integrating to get the impact speed change and then when combined with the other vehicle (unless into a wall) get the impact velocity? Could you prov...

Re: Effects of Vehicle Braking on EDR Pre-Impact Speed
You mention many of the types of items we have seen and are looking at and into. For example, Collision Speed may or may not be after significant decelerations have occurred (since which vehicle make/model/etc and what is the criteria for deciding it is 'in a collision'? I expect due to vehicle make...
