Nice bit of camera trickery. He says "both drivers react and a moment later they break", but the cars are still side by side. It (apparently) takes drivers 1.5 seconds to respond, the 5 km/h speed difference cuts the distance by 2 meter. Which apparently is a big deal. Rough estimate breaking distance:
5 km/h = 0.13 meter
30 km/h = 4.5 meter
60 km/h = 14 to 18 meter
65 km/h = 21 to 24 meter
The +5 km/h adds 6 to 7 meters or 8 to 9 if you account for response time.

The +5 km/h adds 6 to 7 meters or 8 to 9 if you account for response time.You need 150% the distance at 65 vs 60.
"Breaking distance": how much shorter the car is after the impact.
Haha, this auto completely technology needs some distance too.
In Dutch its remweg (something like brakeway) and my mind was occupied not finding the English word for it.
