In a classic display of “ambitious but rubbish” engineering, Jeremy Clarkson and James May attempted to demonstrate the Mazda CX-5’s Smart City Brake Support by driving it toward various obstacles.

While the car successfully detected a hedge and a very nervous James May, the experiment ended in disaster when the system failed to recognize May’s own parked car, resulting in a high-profile collision.

The segment perfectly captured the Top Gear essence of turning a serious safety feature into a comedic mechanical failure.

Given how much the technology has evolved since 2013, do you think modern automatic braking systems are finally foolproof enough to handle a Clarkson-style test?

What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
