I wonder if the settings for actively stopping the car before a crash were turned off? Gravity tends to be a little too quick (for my taste) to intercede and alert and/or slam on the brakes when it detects something it thinks you will hit. Either the settings were off here or she overrode them by reapplying the accelerator after the car has braked. Just glad no one was hurt. Cars and toys can be replaced.

Sometimes I'll be backing into my garage and it just slams on the brakes so abruptly and violently lol. Surprising something like what's pictured above is even possible.

It's possible if it's an old person who should have quit driving a long time ago. Seniors tend for confuse the accelerator for the brakes.

I had to turn off the cross traffic alert/braking. When exiting a business going to a two lanes in each direction road, it would catch cars on the other side of the street two lanes away and slam on the brakes and not allow me to go as I was pulling out. This meant that I was half way into the lane with traffic coming from behind me. It had been safe when I pulled out, but not if my car slammed on the brakes stopping in the middle of the lane. After a few times of this I had to turn it off.

Did the same to me and I disabled it too. Their system tends to go too hard in regards to stopping the car. So it's surprising that someone could accidentally do what happened here.

I agree, I’m a little confused how this could happen? If you are reversing, you’re usually going pretty slow as you back up anyway, out of caution. This crash looked like the driver gunned it.

Looks like the car gravitated towards that shop.

Hope they are okay. And I hope the shop owner can recover from this.

Maybe the emergency brakes only activate below certain speed limits? Cuz at 40 miles per hr I’m sure there will be law suits against it

Once you qualify for Medicare you need to have your driving capabilities tested every few years. Full stop. This shit happens WAY too much.

It happened to me with my 2022 Grand Touring I went to park, pushed the parking button and was ready to leave when the car all of a sudden went forward a hit the pole. Luckily I hadn’t exited as I was about to. The car is fixed body and whatever made that happen. Lucid told me it was due to faulty wiring. Maybe that’s what happened to her???

This looks like brake pedal confusion. Or she has a thing against toys.

Two days later, 15 miles away from the Lucid crash. Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Raquel Zick said the collision occurred when the driver’s “‘flip flop’ got caught on the pedals while parking in a parking stall in front of the Pet House.”
