These systems are already known to struggle in low light, and now IIHS says that the reflective strips on these vests, which are vital for nighttime visibility, seem to be virtually invisible to ...

A new study from the IIHS indicates that reflective clothing might actually harm pedestrians. Specifically, it appears to make them invisible to some automated crash prevention systems. Not all ...

an all-black sweatsuit with reflective strips, and an all-white sweatsuit to test the identification capability of these vehicle's automatic braking systems. The dummy then crossed the "road ...

However, adding reflective patches or strips to the pedestrian test dummies caused the AEB-equipped vehicles to strike them full-speed or slow only marginally in many cases, the IIHS reports.

The CR-V and CX-5 failed to slow down when the dummy wore clothing with reflective strips, which are typically used by roadway workers. David Kidd, a senior research scientist at IIHS, said the ...

Enter: the best reflective running gear. It uses reflective strips of material to illuminate you in the dark by bouncing back light to its origin. You want to make sure reflective detailing is ...

High-visibility clothing and reflective strips may make pedestrians and cyclists invisible to modern car technology, a study suggests. Automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems, which are fitted ...
