Drove tacoma into a stack of empty boxes and it didn't auto stop. What the F$@*.

The "gimmicks" you describe can/should save YOUR life in a moment of distracted driving -should you have one!

 

Also, manual might be vague about complete stop not just for legal reasons. No mention of accelerator defeat. Braking system won't overcome operator who continues to have his right foot down on the accelerator.

 

still waiting for that video..

 

I would think it may have slowed the driver down enough to maybe have saved the lives of the children. Judging from the damage pictures of the front of the Tacoma, she was moving along rather fast?
I wonder if the truck's computer held a record of her speed at the time of the tragedy/crash?
And BTW it WAS NOT an "accident", There was a cause!

 

I think the one in the bus/children incident was/is a 17 (pre tss on Tacomas)

 

Yes but here is what I'm talking about. Page 240 in the manual.

 

Yes, you are right. I wanted you to ignore my post as indicated above.

 

Dumpster fire has a good set of coals
Wtf is going on here???

 

Cliffs notes: OP drove his truck into some boxes and TSS didnt stop him. TW flames him. Then TW comes back and starts trying to help.

 

Op... dont rely on that shit.... take a defensive driving course instead.

 

I read mine online a couple times before I bought my 2016. When I got my 2019 I had to look more things up though that were not covered back in 2015.

 

It states in the manual TSS will only operate if there is no driver input. Once the driver has input TSS backs off. So him holding throttle is why it didn’t work

 

Seems odd. No change in throttle would seem to indicate the driver isn’t paying attention and intervention is necessary.

 

this thread has me saying hmmm

 

I wanna say the vehicle has to be traveling 35 mph. Not sure why but that seems to be in my head for whatever reason.
While driving the wife’s RAV4 I had foot on the gas and the car in front of me slammed on brakes to turn. Before I could react it beeped and hollered and hit the brakes. The programming should be the same so if the OP is hitting the gas it shouldn’t matter.

PS- I’m still waiting for the blowjobs and boxes video.

 

I too am waiting for the video, I would prefer to see the boxes, but hey, whatever gets upload first. Meanwhile, this is the speed paramters

 

It’s only programmed to assist and heavily relies on driver input

 

Well I guess we need a small lesson on how radar works.. the sensor sends out a pulse to detect items like cars and then sends that signal back to the truck. If the signal doesn’t bounce back at the truck and get recieved then you get no auto braking or warning. It works I promise you it does. It’s stopped me twice when jackasses cut me off in heavy traffic

 

You have braking.
