Recently, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas conducted a study and the results showed that the higher the value of the vehicle, the lower the probability that the owner will yield to pedestrians. For every $1,000 increase in vehicle value, the probability that car owners will slow down and yield to pedestrians decreases by 3%, according to the study published in the Journal of Transportation and Health. Relevant reports can also be found on many domestic websites. The editor has tried to find the original text of the journal "Transportation and Health", but to no avail. The research object of this paper should be the American people, but as for the conclusions, the editor Basically agree. As the regulations on giving way to pedestrians in the Road Traffic Safety Law become more and more detailed, and the penalties become more and more severe, this makes giving way to pedestrians not only a matter of social morality, but also a clearly stated legal responsibility. and obligations. Failure to yield to pedestrians will result in fines and points deductions, but the enforcement is different in each city. It seems that enforcement is stricter in the south than in the north. For example, in Shenzhen, Guangdong, if you fail to yield to pedestrians, you will be fined 500 yuan and deducted 3 points; in some areas, you will be fined 100 yuan. But there are still many places where no fines will be incurred. Of course, high-end cars must have high configurations. This may also be the reason why some luxury car drivers are "arrogant" because the performance of the vehicle is good. High-end vehicles are equipped with a lot of active pedestrian protection, such as front and rear AEB (automatic emergency braking) systems. AEB detects pedestrians in advance through radar and cameras, and transmits the received signals to the ECU. After judgment, the ECU issues instructions to the actuator. At this time, the vehicle will use the sound and light reminder in the car to warn the driver. If the driver is tired due to fatigue, No response measures are taken due to factors such as driving, and the active brake assist system will intervene in time when a collision is imminent. Some people also say that even if high-quality car owners are willing to yield to pedestrians, low-quality car owners behind them will not do so. If they drive a little slower, they will be honked by the cars behind them.What do you think about this phenomenon?
