Maybe better light scatter patern and reduce speed will help more than relys on the car wont flip. Breaking is always prefered over swervering on public road.
My man was eating his meal in the middle of the night driving on high way, not expecting anything to happen and he avoids the crash with insane reflexes. You got some skills dude.
This was a Guinness world record in reaction time. In the middle of the night driving so many km’s I guess some of us (at least me) would have crashed into the moose or at least into the railing. Luckily no one was hurt. And the car is nice for sure!
Holy crap, that was incredibly scary!! Ghost moose just standing right in the middle of the freeway. Kudos to Bjorn for lightning reflexes and keeping calm!
That was a nearly perfect reaction. Just enough swerve to avoid the moose, followed by an equal and opposite input to keep the car on the road. Could have easily had a very different outcome. Congratulations - you passed the moose test!
"I almost died" is no exaggeration. Several hundred kilograms of weight high on stilts means that the body mass is most likely going on the windshield right where your head is. So many people have died from moose crashes. Phew... thank the stars you are ok!
I remember when there's a Buffalo in the middle of the road and how my VW Polo swerved to the opposite lane. Literally spun out of the road and the front bumper ate grass and dirt!
That was really close, happy to see you came out of that one with just a small scratch. I'm always worried about these freaking moose to show up on the side of the road, but now I see I gotta keep an eye on the road as well. Again, happy you didn't end up with the moose as a passenger :)
I hate to say that Volvo will just break like a badassoutofhell, (sorry but is true) but luckily for me I put em brembo breaks on; with out it moose will definitely fly. But I am also impressed by near emergency breaking without that electronic assistance, I'd gotten into a collision in the shopping mall with an ignorant driver.
I never hit one, but I know they are all kinds of trouble, cause they are so tall, and heavy. I think your crumple zone takes out the leggs, and the body comes through the windshield.
@@fjalics if you hit it up front it could go through the windscreen. If possible you should aim for the back (as Björn did, like a pro!), since it's lighter and also moose always runs forwards.
Yeah I don’t understand why they don’t turn on faster. If the car is supposed to be able to nearly do FSD the vision system should be able to know when the car is besides you..
@@oleost especially considering that it should be pretty obvious for the cameras when there are bright headlights from oncoming traffic shining at your car.
@@oleost AFAIK BMW doen't turn on high beams if you are driving through a settlement, there's oncoming traffic or if the road is lit up with street lights. The last one was exactly what happened in the Moose situation. Because in my country which has similar traffic rules as Germany, you shouldn't have high beams in those situations and I think you never should have high beams on a highway anyway. But the last rule might be more suited for non-adaptive headlights.
@@kasmopaya2676 The same here, I live in an area where roads are not illuminated at night and it is really dangerous to wait 1-2 seconds to the high beam to turn on. I feel much safer using manual headlights.
That was so close! Good driving. I am amazed how quickly you decided to go left. Hey friend, you just gained a whole new level of respect from us followers. So glad you are OK.
Actually it was the wrong decision to swerve to the left, because on the right he had more space, but considering the moose moved to the right at the beginning, It would have been the right decision to go left if the animal continued to the right. So it is ok that he went to left, there is not much time to think about those decisions in situations like this.
Im so glad you are okay Björn. Two years ago I crashed with an elk here in Sweden and it deleted my volvo. The tow man said if I had been in a weaker built car I would be dead. Im so thankfull I was alone in the car that night. I walked out without a scratch. Also this is the reason I never use automatic high beam. It cant be trusted.
Ever the positive Bjørn - gotta love him. "At least they show you [the wrong data!]. Many other cars don't even show you with how many percent you will arrive with!"
there is room for improvement of the estimates when they get enough data. I am more puzzled about the other software bugs and the lack of EM shielding on some components
No need to watch more moose test videos for this car! Only thing left to know was roughly the speed you were going for car comparison. Great reaction time Bjorn!
Bjorn 90% of drivers would have hit that moose full on you're reaction was like lightning,That was some piece of driving and glad there wasn't another vehicle next to you,nice work.
Headlights/high beam are pretty good. But it is a design flaw if they don't keep on automatically at speed when there is street lighting. Good neither @Bear or moose or beaver got hurt.
That moose just learned to stay away from roads. Good reaction Bjørn! You turned the correct way aswell, always aim for its rear end as it rarely backs off or turns in the opposite direction of its path of direction...
Hi Björn, I saw the almost moose accident on your live stream and couldn't believe my eyes at first. Fate was on your side - very lucky for you. But you also reacted very well intuitively.
Too bad they seem to have stopped selling the night camera I have in my old F11. This is a typical situation where it would warn you and give you some more moments to react.
That is strange: no collision warning or emergency breaking. For what do they build radar into those cars? Besides that I am happy that no one was harmed. Also: thats a great example how a speed limit saved at least the life of the moose.
@@michah1896 The systems are just not designed for it. The performance of most systems is just enough to recognize vehicles and people. Sometimes they respond, sometimes not at all. You can't rely on them at the moment.

Just to be clear. In Norway, if you hit a moose or similar, you are obligated to call the police. That is if you definitely hurt the animal, or think you might have hurt the animal. The police takes care of calling viltnemnda,or you can call them after talking to the police. The insurance company may check if you called the police if you decide to make a claim. Bjørn checked the vehicle for damage to assess if the animal was hurt. Conclusion was, probably not. I agree with his assessment. To be absolutely clear, Bjørn did what he was supposed to do.
The law is the same in Sweden. Bjørn should have called the police regardless, since the animal was actually struck and there is no real way of knowing the potential injuries.
You definitely should, I got one and it's an engineering masterpiece. The design was off-putting for the first few days but it really grows on you once you drive it a few times, it also stands out in the crowds so you might even see a couple of people taking photos of it.
Great reflexes. But I see that everybody forgets the second hero here - the car. Those are the advantages of driving a BMW - a car that is by a lot of people considered more dangerous than other cars, can make a life/death difference in the hands of the right driver
Imagine the difference if the auto light would have been working more sensitively / properly. You would have said after the street lights ended "oh, what a majestic moose on the road" and had time to pet it.
Wow, I know I would have been shocked after that ... I would probably need a small break honestly. I have never been this close luckily, but I've had a number of close calls but I have been able to see that I will not hit the deer etc. every time, so I never got shocked. But seeing this thing, that close to the car! Ssshiiiiiiieeet!!!

Moose: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! Glad you are ok. I had something similar happen to me about 20 years ago, at night, except there was snow on the road and it was just total luck that the car retained grip when I changed lanes. -Matt
Worst possible time to encounter that moose, and thankfully your eyes were on the road in the split second they had to be. Have had a few cars with automatic highbeams, never liked them because of the lag before they switch on. Also very bad that they switch off because of reflections from road signs etc.. would often curse at them for being unreliable and slow. Ended up turning it to manual mode on all of them.
The beaver almost ate a whole moose! But jokes aside super impressive reaction. Also exactly this is why it’s bad that the auto highbeam turns off just because there is some street lighting.
Happy moose.
Bjørn has reflexes like a Ninja. TB for the win.
Did the car autosteer away from the moose or was it bjørn?
@@nilsen39 no reaction from the car. No steering, no breaking and no beeping. Nothing!
@@MrDraedd this is really disappointing.
This is why people should not rely on autopilot alone, yet.
Very impressive reflexes! I had to rewatch the clip several times and I still didn’t see the moose until after bjorn swerved out of the way.
Now people understand why we have used the moose test in Sweden since late 70s.
Maybe better light scatter patern and reduce speed will help more than relys on the car wont flip. Breaking is always prefered over swervering on public road.
Only Saab did the moose test… now that Saab is gone nobody does that…
BMW iX passed the test.
@@sweetbon76 well the test is to actually hit the moose and make sure the a-pillars dont collapse and kill everyone inside…
@@林振华-t4v Seriously?
The one time you could have used a clickbaity title, you did not, hats off to you Bjorn... good stuff!
I think he should do a separate clickbait video
Right? Click bait title, orgasm face, bright background, false claim (e.g. “I nearly died!!”)
100%
I think he should do that because he deserves the views.
So funny..Bjorn now changed it to a click bait style title after an overwhelming response haha good :))
21:39 is what you are here for! Good job avoiding, Bjorn! Congratulations!
That was an awesome maneuver! ESP saved the day too!
God bless you sir.
Wow! That was crazy, great driving. This beats 99% of all the "i almost died" click bait out there. That moose got its ass smacked :D

Amazing reflexes and driving skills Bjorn!
Amazing reflexes at 4AM... like a NINJA!
