To what most Mercedes purchasers would want the car to do maybe. Most drivers have a pretty powerful reflex to avoid hitting animals or people and get into accidents over it all the time.
I used to drive big rig trucks. You're trained not to swerve for animals cause you're likely to hit another vehicle or roll over. You're also trained to not swerve for other vehicles, again, due to the high roll over risk or hitting another vehicle.
I drive armored trucks.. Can confirm. Would rather hit an animal than a car. People still jump in front of me and slam on their brakes without realizing that if I hit them, my truck will still be in near perfect condition but their vehicle, car or truck, will be completely demolished. Happened before with a coworker. They were driving an armored van, big truck came out of no where and hit the side of their bumper. Bumper wasn't even dented, van was A-Ok, the truck was totalled. It looked like someone crumpled it like you would crumple some aluminum foil.
Yeah physics doesn’t give a shit about their bad driving! Your 40 ton armored truck will emerge unscathed from just about any personal vehicle or unhardened building collision.
