Automatic emergency braking technology, commonly referred to as AEB, is a form of vehicle safety technology that acts as a last line of defense in the event of an imminent crash.
By utilizing cameras, radars and other sensors, automatic emergency braking systems are able to detect potential hazards on the road ahead and alert drivers about low or no-visibility obstacles.
When deemed necessary by the system’s safety algorithms, automatic emergency braking can automatically slow down or stop a vehicle in order to avoid a collision. It is designed to reduce severity during crashes and provides invaluable peace of mind for drivers who are looking out for the safety of their passengers and fellow motorists.
