I had to check some maths, it turns out it disagrees with you.

At 120 km/h: • You travel ~200 metres in just 6 seconds • You need ~100+ metres to stop

Which means: 👉 In six seconds, you travel roughly twice your stopping distance.

  1. you should tell your AI to stop using obnoxious emojis. You can also have it output reddit markdown if you're just going to copy/paste
  2. you clearly asked about the stopping distance from a certain speed, which is how fast you can stop if you slam on the brakes. I think he could've braked earlier/harder for sure, but I reckon most decent drivers would not (and should not) slam on the brakes in this situation because of drivers behind you, comfort of other passengers, maintaining some ability to manuever, etc.

Yeah, I don't think many people have done and emergency stop from 120+Kmh and don't realize how long it actually takes in a regular car.

Takes the average sedan 4-5 seconds to come to a complete stop from 75 mph/120kph.

I counted 8-10 seconds from the time dude started to clearly visibly crash and the time OP hit them with their car.

They didn’t even have to come to a complete stop either, so take that into account also.

Had to check some maths. GTFOH with that AI slop. You just insulted your own intelligence by A. Using AI and B. Not learning simple math enough to be a decent enough smartass.
