You weren't there and neither were we so we can all only guess what happened. I am all for Squirrel not having to fork out for anything ...but equally LR could argue that it was doing what it had to do in the circumstance ....or admit it was faulty.

Ditto... no one is saying it was the drivers 'fault' at all.

It does not say in the manual anything about the roll over protection offered by the SRS system. Its there and I am glad it is. This is the same for many of the safety systems in the D3 or any other vehicle I would imagine.

And how would any driver know for certain that they were at a 45 degree or even over or under this angle. What is the angle the SRS determines it should fire at ? What other circumstances cause the SRS system to fire. There would I assume be some sort of error checking and or leeway to cover for a 'dipping into the firing zone' too.

Or there may have been a fault. TBH until data is recovered by LR or the dealer to determine exactly what the sensors were seeing, no one will know for sure.

I would like to think that LR will say they will cover the cost even though the system (presumably) did what it was designed to do. Happily no one was hurt and there was no damage (apart from that caused by the SRS system).

Its a tough one at the end of the day and hopefully all will be sorted.

I agree as well

My arguments haven't been against the way the system is programmed, but rather against any possible claim that this should not be covered under warranty. You want the system to predict, and I understand that there are accelerometers and crazy technology at work. But in this case, their combined assessment was mistaken. If you have a smart computer that makes a mistake, it can get points for trying, and we can say that it's better for it to err on the side of caution, but at the end of the day it cannot be denied that the computer made a mistake.
