An unusual experiment was conducted by employees of the American Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Despite the fact that in many countries pedestrians are recommended to wear reflective clothing at night, modern systems are not always able to recognize a person wearing such clothing. In the vast majority of cases, the electronics of cars cannot cope.
As part of the experiment, experts tested the emergency braking systems of the Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-5 and Subaru Forester. All three cars had to recognize pedestrians in the dark, dressed in different clothes, and then stop in front of them. For the purity of the study, the institute’s staff changed the level of illumination of the road.

The on-board systems of all cars were able to easily detect mannequins dressed in black and white clothes. However, when reflective elements were placed on artificial pedestrians, emergency braking systems malfunctioned due to reflected headlights. Only Subaru Forester managed to cope with the experiment, which identified a mannequin on the road in reflective clothing in one of 12 scenarios.
As a result of the study, experts said that reflective elements confuse the emergency braking systems of most cars, so manufacturers need to reconsider the settings of electronic components.
In 2023, Russia was going to introduce a new GOST to protect pedestrians. The new rules were supposed to reduce the number of accidents.
