I TRUCKED UP

Can I ask you what happens in the following scenario?

You are travelling on a country road at night and have just overtaken a road-train. All of a sudden a large roo jumps from the side of the road into your path (assume both you and the truck are doing 100km/h). Without AEB you would take the hit then get out of the way of the truck and trailers, but what would happen in a vehicle fitted with AEB?

Anything with pedestrian-rated AEB would, at that speed, slow slightly but still give the roo something to significantly regret. Volvo’s AEB has been famously unable to recognise roos as people (on account of their freakish little heads), so an XC60 would likely blow one to smithereens. – Ed
