    You can test your PCS system with cardboard boxes. It won't stop the car but will slow down enough so the impact is less severer. There are 2 homemade videos on youtube that test Prius's PCS.

    Please do me a favor and go on the NHTSA website and email this concern to them. I will do the same. Thanks for pointing this out.

    1. Yes, see CProAudio's suggestion. Or you can just search YouTube. A few PC members have done it already

    2. No. Our version will not bring the car to a complete stop. It's designed to minimise the impact velocity in the hopes that damage will be reduced (and potentially less force of impact on your body). However, you have to be pretty distracted to not notice the beeping and the flashing lights.
