    Honestly curious, what will your Kia do if you point it at a house and floor the accelerator from a few hundred meters away? I have no idea how my BYD would react and I’m not eager to test it. It has emergency braking, but I don’t know how effective that actually is.

      if you point it at a house and floor the accelerator from a few hundred meters away?

      I don’t know for sure and I can’t think of a good way to test. It certainly wouldn’t hit it when “driving itself” with smart cruise control or if I tried to drive into it from a few metres away.

        And what if you were doing 70mph for a few hundred meters before the house?

        You’d be going right into that house. No car will stop that.
