My RAM truck wont let me back into any object - It will stop forcefully and scream at you.

I wanted to test the Bronco and see what it would do. So I setup a large box 3 feet wide and 4 feet tall and testing backing into it and driving into it.

Yes I have all my driver automation setup proper and set on HIGH sensativity.

Backing up:
Well the only thing that happens is the rear sensors alarm but nothing automated as far as stopping or other alerts. You run right into it.

Driving Forward (NO Cruise Control Active):
NOTHING! At all, not a chirp or any alert.

I thought the Copilot 360 would not allow you to hit a pedestrian, a small child or drive into the back on a vehicle....

Anyone have any insight into this?

Using the Pre-Collision Assist
System
The system is active at speeds above
3 mph (5 km/h) and pedestrian detection
is active at speeds up to 50 mph
(80 km/h).

If your vehicle is rapidly approaching
another stationary vehicle, a vehicle
traveling in the same direction as yours, or
a pedestrian within your driving path, the
system provides three levels of
functionality:
1. Alert.
2. Brake support.
3. Active braking.

Alert: When active, a flashing visual
warning appears and an audible warning
tone sounds.

Brake support: The system helps reduce
the impact speed by preparing the brakes
for rapid braking. Brake support does not
automatically apply the brakes. If you press
the brake pedal, the system could apply
additional braking up to maximum braking
force, even if you lightly press the brake
pedal.

Active braking: It activates if the system
determines that a collision is about to
occur. The system may help the driver
reduce impact damage or completely
avoid the crash.

Brake support and active braking are
active at speeds up to 75 mph (120 km/h).
If your vehicle is equipped with a radar
sensor, included with adaptive cruise
control, then brake support and active
braking are active up to the maximum speed
of your vehicle.
Note: If you perceive pre-collision assist
