What does the autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system do?
En español: ¿Qué hace el sistema de frenada autónoma de emergencia (AEB)?
A
It brakes automatically if a collision is likely and the driver does not react
Correct answer
B
It increases speed to avoid being rear-ended
C
It disables ABS in the wet
D
It only works with the vehicle stopped
Why this is the correct answer
AEB uses a radar sensor to calculate the distance to the vehicle ahead. If it is too short it warns the driver, and if the driver does not react and a collision is likely, it applies emergency braking to avoid or mitigate the impact.
