Yes. So as the radar cruise control. All standard, cost about 1.2 million RMB that is about $190K USD

Chinese market for automobile specification and safety requirement are mainly following the European specification. One safety feature I believe is widely available in Europe is when the car has an emergency breaking situation when speed above 80 KM/h or so. It requires to have either rapid flashing break lights or hazard lights to warning the other drivers.

I do like that feature. While running at a higher speed it can be difficult to determine the abrupt stopping speed of the car in front of you. I have been a passenger with the Atlanta Power Boat Club and the protocol with abrupt stops is for the captain to tell the passengers to raise both arms up to warn the boats behind. This is sometimes 60-100+ mph on water and no brake lights on a boat.

Now, it raised an interesting question, I believe the Break Control and Lights ECU used on GXs are the same, especially with DAC or CC feature that break lights are on without touching the break pedal. With Emergency Break Distribution feature as part of Break ECU, I am wondering if this can be a feature could be explored with TIS settings.

I really like that interior color combination... maybe just because it’s different...
