Emergency braking is a safety feature in vehicles designed to rapidly reduce speed or stop the vehicle when a sudden obstacle or hazard is detected. Using sensors and cameras, the system assesses the distance and speed of obstacles ahead. If it determines a collision is imminent, it automatically applies maximum braking force to prevent or lessen the impact. This system can activate in various situations, such as when a pedestrian suddenly crosses or another vehicle brakes unexpectedly. Emergency braking aims to enhance safety by minimizing reaction times and potential accidents, functioning as an advanced aid to the driver’s awareness and response.
