Automatic braking systems are advanced safety features in vehicles designed to prevent collisions. They use sensors, cameras, and radar to detect obstacles, such as other cars or pedestrians, in the vehicle's path. If the system determines a potential crash is imminent, it can automatically apply the brakes to reduce speed or stop the vehicle entirely. These systems are part of a broader category of technologies known as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). They enhance driver safety by providing additional support, especially in emergency situations. Automatic braking can significantly reduce the severity of accidents or even prevent them altogether.
