Does the Corolla have automatic braking function?
3 Answers
The Corolla has an automatic braking function. This active braking system in the Corolla is enabled by default. The role and implementation principle of the automatic braking function are as follows: Role of the automatic braking function: This system activates only when a collision is imminent but the driver has not pressed the brake pedal. Higher-end models of the Corolla are also equipped with Level 2 autonomous driving technology, which is very user-friendly and reduces the driver's workload to some extent. Implementation principle of automatic braking: Obstacles are detected using devices such as millimeter-wave radar, lidar, cameras, infrared ultrasonic sensors, etc. The data is then fed back in real-time to an intelligent processor, which issues corresponding braking commands to the auxiliary braking system through intelligent algorithms to achieve the auxiliary automatic braking effect.
I've seen many people asking whether the Corolla has automatic braking, and the answer is yes! Especially for the newer Corolla models, those produced after 2017 come equipped with Toyota Safety Sense, which includes the Pre-Collision Braking System. Simply put, when you're driving too fast or not paying attention to obstacles ahead, the system uses radar or cameras to detect potential dangers and automatically applies the brakes to avoid a collision. However, it's important to note that features may vary depending on the model year and trim level. For example, entry-level Corollas might not have this function. It's advisable to check the vehicle manual or ask the dealership to demonstrate how the system works before purchasing. I've even tried it in a friend's car—it reacts incredibly quickly on the highway, which feels very reassuring.
I truly experienced the convenience of automatic braking when driving my Corolla! My car was purchased in 2019 and came with Toyota Safety Sense, of which automatic braking is a part. Once while driving in the city, the car in front suddenly braked hard, and before I could react, the system immediately engaged the brakes, narrowly avoiding a rear-end collision. Since then, I've trusted the car even more. However, not all Corollas have this feature; for example, older models or basic hybrid versions might lack it. When buying a car, it's best to test the system's sensitivity during a test drive and ask the salesperson about the specific configurations.
