Does Triggering Autonomous Emergency Braking Cause Damage to the Car?
1 Answers
Triggering autonomous emergency braking does not cause damage to the car. This is because any vehicle equipped with autonomous emergency braking, i.e., the AEB/ACC system, must have a brake override function; otherwise, it would not qualify as a compliant vehicle. The brake override system refers to a control program where, if both the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal are pressed simultaneously, or if the electronic control system detects or executes a braking action, pressing the accelerator pedal to the floor will have no effect. This program is automatically activated in semi-autonomous vehicles and works in conjunction with the AEB/ACC system, with the brake override function having no priority. The conditions for using the autonomous emergency braking system are as follows: Autonomous emergency braking comes into play during emergency braking situations. Developed on the basis of ABS, it is essentially the Brake Assist System (BAS), which determines whether to enter an emergency braking state by monitoring the force and speed at which the driver presses the brake pedal. If BAS determines that an emergency braking state is necessary, the system will increase braking force to reduce the braking distance. In other words, the initial stage of the automatic braking system requires the driver to notice an emergency and press the brake pedal to activate brake assist; otherwise, it will not function. The system assesses potential collisions by detecting vehicles ahead or possible obstacles. The autonomous emergency braking system will then issue a warning sound to alert the driver and prepare sufficient braking force in advance. As soon as the driver presses the brake pedal, the system will deliver maximum braking efficiency.
