funny, yes.
but this is posted in the car videos section.
did i miss where i should click to see a video, because it just looked like a news article to me.
i would like to see the video if you have it.

edit... nevermind i found the link farther down the page.

edit again......long, long, boring, and in german?
i didn't have the patience to sit through the whole thing, but the article is kind of funny.

Re: Mercedes Brake radar fails to prevent televised crash
Fail the brake system? No Problem! The Problem is - the lies!
The Job of a cars journalist is NOT work for / with the Industry! The Job is - inform the readers, honestly!
Many readers do not want to trust any longer. We have over 100.000 Hits in a German Car Forum ( 5 Days after this "Test" ) - and the most of this People is VERY angry!

Sorry for my bad English

And the Car-Magazine! The Driver ( with the red Shirt ) is a well-known cars journalist. The journalist had a microphone. After the accident he forgot it. He said completely quietly to the Mercedes Team "O.K. I can say it was my error!" The new system works perfectly!
A journalist of the other TV-team wanted to be in the car. With the second Test!
Mercedes say O.K. no problem. But the journalist said, completely quietly, "No - he will see the system has a problem!"

I said - "The Driver IS a car journalist". That is not correct! It WAS a car journalist!

The journalist co-operated with Mercedes, the car magazine didŽnt know that( auto bild ). Mercedes knew that their system wouldŽnt work in such a building ( big steel walls ) so they collaborated with the carjournalist. But he screwed up big time....... twice !!!!!!
