What Is a Collision Avoidance System?
A collision avoidance system is an advanced technology implemented in vehicles to prevent collisions.
Diverse types of these systems exist. The pre-crash brake system activates brakes automatically upon detecting an imminent collision risk. Automatic braking systems engage brakes when pedestrians or obstacles are identified. Lane departure warning systems alert drivers to potential lane deviations while lane-keeping assistance systems assist in steering to maintain lane integrity.
These systems are invaluable in enhancing vehicle safety, as they help prevent collisions, minimize damage, and reduce driver workload. They have become increasingly common in modern automobiles as critical safety enhancements. However, challenges such as system malfunctions, false alerts, and the costs of integration should be considered.
