I don't think it works in the 2018 models. I found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5VSZPAtYII

It probably was a 2017 CX-5. It is best to have it disabled anyway, this video shows it braking because a truck passed the car and they could have been rear ended: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiIXFRUFncs

Seems like the heat from the exhaust from the car ahead had something to do with it.
The same uploader also uploaded this video.

Very odd. Never had this issue ever.

More likely the opacity or density of the exhaust, since the system doesn't rely on temp afaik.
But definitely miscalibrated.

Thats what I was trying to say. The opacity of the exhaust fumes caused by the cold weather and heat. Definitely something is not right.

I *may* have been driving it like a rental. It was a multi-level garage and had a ramp between each floor and then a level area between. So going from ramp to leve and back is where it slammed on.

smh. It works. People are just using flawed tests. If I were to test this feature, I'd go to an empty parking lot with an empty cardboard box and a friend, and I'd get them to push the box out in front of the car while I was driving. Similar to the way the "pedestrian" steps out from behind a parked car.

not to stereotype but it's also good for elderly drivers.
Reaction times slow down with age, and i'm sure glad this is available.

Also true. I generally think this is a good thing and its being pushed by the IIHS. I know we all focus on the perceived increase in the cost of the car. However that probably isnt as high as we think it is especially once this matures. Also we have to factor in that as this becomes ubiquitous it can help keep insurance premiums down by reducing collisions and thus claims.

speaking about insurance premiums, I would hope that installing a dashcam would bring the premium down, but so far no go.. =(
I just wish we had OEM dash cam as an option. Just save in case of any safety system being triggered. Cameras are already there!

you know something?
I ALWAYS thought this would be a great option for ALL manufacturers!
If Mazda is the pioneer in this, and adds the first OEM dashcam...woah..it might actually make some waves! assuming it's implemented correctly and has parking mode and motion sensors.
