collision warning
Impact hazard signal
Collision warning is a safety system that alerts drivers when a crash is imminent.
Most modern vehicles use sensors and cameras to detect obstacles, other vehicles, or pedestrians, then provide visual, audible, or haptic warnings: The collision warning beeped as I approached the car ahead.
More advanced systems pair the warning with automatic braking.
