Auto braking: a quantum leap for road safety - Telegraph

Auto braking: a quantum leap for road safety - Telegraph


It’s a familiar tale. You’re travelling in slow-moving traffic when, before you can react, the car in front stops suddenly. You slam on the brakes but it’s too late and there’s a sickening crunch as bumpers meet. It’s a minor collision, but getting the cars repaired will take time and most likely push up your insurance premium come renewal, and then there’s the ever-present threat of whiplash claims.

Such accidents could soon be a thing of the past, for those driving new cars at least, thanks to Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB). It’s a system that uses radar, lidar (laser) or video technology to warn the driver of an impending frontal collision before priming the brakes and eventually performing an emergency stop.
