Is Emergency Braking the Same as Normal Braking?
1 Answers
Emergency braking is not the same as normal braking. Emergency braking refers to the situation where the driver reacts quickly to use the correct brake when encountering an emergency while driving, stopping the vehicle in the shortest possible distance. Emergency braking can cause relatively significant damage to the car's braking system. Normal braking involves at least pressing the brake pedal to decelerate, allowing for gradual braking, which results in less wear and tear on the car's braking system. Emergency braking primarily manifests in tire wear, brake pad wear, impact deformation of the suspension system, and damage to the transmission system's components. Additionally, it not only subjects the braking system during the break-in period to impact but also increases the impact load on the chassis and engine. Therefore, drivers should maintain a safe distance and drive cautiously while on the road. When performing emergency braking, try to avoid obstacles to minimize harm to the driver, passengers, pedestrians, and other vehicles. The emergency braking system is installed at the front of the vehicle and uses radar, cameras, and sensors to detect obstacles ahead. If an obstacle appears and the driver does not brake, the car will automatically take emergency braking measures to reduce the likelihood of a collision.
