News on March 5, recently, a car owner claimed on the show "Please, Experienced Drivers" that their Ideal L8 seemed to have experienced brake failure while entering a parking garage, leading to a collision with a pillar. The host analyzed the incident.
According to the data feedback, the car had reached a speed of 32 kilometers per hour by the time it got to the bottom of the slope. Although the driver had their foot on the brake, the data shows that the braking travel of the pedal was only 2.8, indicating that effective braking did not occur.
The braking system engaged and triggered the ABS only after the vehicle reached the bottom of the slope.
It's worth noting that there was standing water on the floor of the underground parking lot. It's important to understand that epoxy floors can become very slippery when wet, easily causing vehicles to skid or even lose control.
Following this, the driver made a slight steering adjustment, which changed the tire's contact with the ground from a full surface to just a point, losing traction and ultimately leading to the accident.
However, the car owner also expressed skepticism about this statement, as the data shown by the EDR (Event Data Recorder) did not match the data recorded by their dashcam.
This discrepancy arises because the EDR records data at the millisecond level, while standard dashcams record at the second level, leading to some differences between the two sets of data.
In conclusion, the host stated that the accident was caused by excessive speed, and that switching to a different brand would have resulted in the same outcome.
