automatic braking

Collision prevention system

Automatic braking is a vehicle safety system that applies the brakes without driver input to prevent or reduce the severity of a collision.

Sensors detect obstacles or slowing traffic ahead and trigger braking if the driver fails to respond: The car's automatic braking kicked in when the truck stopped suddenly.

Also called autonomous emergency braking or AEB.
