Correct answer

  • BEn caso de despiste del conductor y riesgo de colisión por alcance.When the driver is not paying attention and there is a risk of a rear-end collision.
Explanation

AEBS, or urban and interurban automatic emergency braking system: if the driver is not paying attention and there is a risk of a rear-end collision, the system can detect an imminent danger and act in two ways: - by giving the driver a warning (visual/sound), and - if the driver ignores it, by taking control of the vehicle to stop it with an emergency stop.
