      Well, 10 year old Skoda Fabia (something like VW Polo, small, cheap car) at work does exactly that. So yes?

          Well, probably not. Can’t be 100% sure since it’s not really a thing I’d try to proove in a company car. But it hit the brakes couple times when I was approaching car in front of me too fast for cars liking. And it hit them quite hard, accompanied with alerting sound.

        Your car would not stop you flying off the road into a house while you have your foot to the floor and going 75mph.

          visual only isn’t a good thing, when the whole rest of the industry and multiple experts tell you this will kill people

          then you proceed to have an outsized crash record and kill people
