A YouTuber demonstrates that this electric car, which is neither Chinese nor a Tesla, is the safest on the market

There are many brands competing to present themselves as ‘the safest’ on the current market. Most eyes are on Volvo, since in recent years it has been characterized as one of the most prominent in this regard. However, there may be a company that has already overtaken the Swedish company.

There is a lot of talk about advances in security systems and that these, little by little, are based on increasingly intuitive or predictive artificial intelligence, so that it is capable of knowing when there is a risk of something happening outside or even , if something happens to the driver. Therefore, the youtuber Kyle Connerfrom the channel Out of Spec Reviewswanted to test what the new one is capable of Electric Porsche Macan in this aspect and with which he has been deeply surprised.

The electric Porsche Macan makes a technological demonstration

During a real test drive, Conner activated the cruise control along with the lane centering assist; That is, what many could classify as something very close to autonomous driving on the highway. At that moment, the YouTuber took his hands off the wheel and waited for the Macan to take absolute control.

After several seconds of driving by itself, the electric SUV missed the driver showing signs of control, applying a small amount of force on the steering wheel, so it could endure another additional few seconds of ‘autonomous’ driving. However, Conner did not do that, as he wanted to test how far this system would go.

Once this happened, the Porsche Macan made a warning sound for the driver to regain control. After a few seconds without reaction, the instrumentation screen began to flash red, while the audible alert continued. Then, The SUV braked hard and stopped on the shoulder of the highway and started honking the horn, pulling the seat belts and turning on the interior lights.

Upon verifying that the driver still did not react, the car by itself, unlocked doors, automatically dialed emergency phone number and sent the exact location to its headquarters so that the driver could be treated by medical services. The company states that, in the event that the pilot loses consciousness while driving, the rest of the occupants will be able to activate this same maneuver by holding down the emergency button for three seconds.

“This is the best emergency safety response we have experienced. We haven’t tested a car that does this much. All car manufacturers should do that”Conner stated in the video.

Let us remember that the new electric Porsche Macan is now available for purchase in Spain for a starting price of 82,310 euros. For this price you have access to its most accessible mechanics, with 360 HP and a combined electric range of up to 641 kilometers, according to its WLTP approval.
