emergency braking
Sudden vehicle halt
Emergency braking is the sudden, forceful application of brakes to stop a vehicle as quickly as possible, typically to avoid a collision.
Modern vehicles often include automatic emergency braking systems that detect obstacles and apply brakes without driver input: The car's emergency braking kicked in when a pedestrian stepped into the road.
