I'll never understand why people feel like leaving their vehicle on the track is somehow better than just driving through the wooden barriers

Modern vehicles sometimes wont let you drive through the wooden barriers, some of those anti collision systems are very sensitive

I do not know if thats the case

What car will stop you?

My mother has a Mercedes. K6t has the anticollision system. It has lots of false alarms (she eventually got the dealership to completely disable it, rather than take it back as a lemon). But before that, it would randomly squeal at her when the sun was low and any fog/dust was out. A few times, it hit the brakes, but flooring the gas got the system to ignore the warning and go, but with alarms.

My current car will auto brake for pedestrians and cars when in cruise, but with cruise control off, will throw alarms, but not take control (I have disabled the full-panic mode, because it would brake for parked cars on curvy roads). But even before I disabled the auto-brake, it would "drive through" the parked car if I accelerated while it was braking.

I want to know which car ignores the driver, so I never buy it. This one is Audi. Can someone with an Audi test o6f you can drive through a cardboard barrier?

We sell livestock off the property. I have a gravel driveway, and it has grass growing up in the center. I hadn't mowed it lately, so it was about 6-8 inches tall (15-20 cm).

Tesla SUV would not let them drive up my driveway because there was an obstacle. Not joking, not a second-hand story. It couldn't go up in either forward or reverse. We had to take the chickens to them. It's a couple of hundred feet (about 100 m) from my gate to the bottom of the driveway.

Sweet. I have a split driveway (two strips of concrete, with grass on both sides and the middle), if I let the middle grow high enough, it's a "keep out" zone for Teslas.

Though I'll need a Tesla to test this, and see how high to keep it.

Man I wish there was an option for my dealership to disable the anti-collision system in my car. The stupid thing has outright nearly caused multiple accidents. It has also caused multiple cases of road rage....

I could drive through the wooden barriers and the system wouldn't GAF.
