      Well, 10 year old Skoda Fabia (something like VW Polo, small, cheap car) at work does exactly that. So yes?

          Well, probably not. Can’t be 100% sure since it’s not really a thing I’d try to proove in a company car. But it hit the brakes couple times when I was approaching car in front of me too fast for cars liking. And it hit them quite hard, accompanied with alerting sound.
