We tested the intelligent automatic emergency braking system in a 2019 Subaru outback.
An emergency braking system or an intelligent anti-collision system is a preventive driver assistance system for automobiles, which at risk to the driver automatically warns or executes a braking through emergency braking (brake assist). This should prevent collision with an obstacle or reduce collision speed. A brake assistant can be supported by other safety measures.
Vehicles with an emergency braking system usually have sensors for analyzing distance, acceleration, angle of turn, angle of the steering wheel, and position of the pedal. From the measurement values of these sensors, the on-board computer calculates whether they indicate a risky situation or if there is a critical displacement state. Data from some of the sensors is also used for other purposes. For example ABS and stability control (also called ESP or ESC) use data from sensors on the wheels.
Many brake assistants warn the driver, for example, of too little clearance from the vehicle in front, before automatically reducing fuel supply and braking.
