BMW was particularly disappointed with the results of the 2018 BMW X1 tested.
BMW has a long history of safety innovation, with an engineering philosophy based on three pillars: accident avoidance, passenger protection during and after a crash, and post-crash notification. The 2019 BMW X1 has a standard equipment (optional in 2018), camera based Automatic Emergency Braking System that is designed primarily to warn the driver and emergency brake to avoid a crash with another vehicle.
The 2019 BMW X1 is also able of warning the driver of a pedestrian crossing the road ahead. If the driver does not respond to the warning, the system may apply the brakes. The upper threshold for this system on the X1 is 60km/h or 37.5 mph as indicated on the vehicle speedometer. Given that BMW speedometers are calibrated conservatively and that the IIHS test was performed at exactly 37 mph, it may be that IIHS tested the system above the designed threshold.
