Why This Matters
Understanding the risk
Sometimes drivers get distracted, panic, or don’t notice danger quickly enough. Automatic emergency braking can help reduce the severity of a crash — or prevent one completely.
Key Risks
- ✓Relying on the system too much
- ✓Not reacting because you expect the car to stop itself
- ✓Assuming it works perfectly in every situation
