Automatic emergency braking system (AEBS): the AEBS system comes on when there is a risk of collision and the driver does not react in time. It uses sensors and cameras to detect obstacles and reduces speed automatically, avoiding the impact or making it less severe. It is especially useful in towns and on high-speed roads. However, it does not remove the need to keep a safe distance and to drive attentively. This technology is regulated by the European standard UNECE R131 on emergency braking systems.
