1. Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB):
* How it works: AEB systems use sensors (radar, cameras, or a combination) to detect objects in front of the car. If the system determines a collision is imminent, it automatically applies the brakes to avoid or mitigate the impact.
* Types:
* Forward Collision Warning (FCW): Provides an audible or visual warning to the driver of an impending collision, giving them time to react.
* Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB): Actively applies the brakes if the driver doesn't react in time to the warning.
* Benefits: AEB systems can help to prevent or reduce the severity of rear-end collisions, which are one of the most common types of car accidents.
2. Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Keeping Assist (LKA):
* How it works: LDW systems use cameras or sensors to monitor the car's position in the lane. If the system detects that the car is drifting out of its lane, it provides an audible or visual warning to the driver. LKA takes it a step further by actively steering the car back into its lane if the driver doesn't respond to the warning.
* Benefits: LDW and LKA systems can help to prevent accidents caused by driver inattention or fatigue, particularly on highways. They can also improve driver safety by reducing the risk of running off the road.
