What does the car active braking and active safety system mean?
2 Answers
Active braking system is just a branch of the car safety assistance system, and the active safety system belongs to the car safety system. The following is the relevant introduction about the car safety system: Introduction to car safety system: The car safety system is mainly divided into two aspects: active safety system and passive safety system. Active safety is to avoid the occurrence of accidents. Passive safety is the protection of the occupants inside the car or the protection of the collided vehicle or pedestrian when an accident occurs. Function of active safety system: When the car in front brakes, stops, or there are other obstacles, this system will first automatically increase the force on the braking system to help the driver shorten the braking distance before taking action. It can also change the vehicle's driving path by adjusting the steering wheel to avoid obstacles.
The active braking safety system sounds quite advanced, but it actually makes driving much more reassuring. My car is equipped with this system, and last time when I was distracted and almost rear-ended the car in front, the vehicle braked on its own before I even stepped on the brake pedal. It relies on front radar and cameras to monitor the road ahead. If there's a collision risk, it first beeps an alarm, and if the driver doesn't react, it automatically brakes to slow down. Nowadays, most new cars come standard with this feature, which not only prevents rear-end collisions but also detects pedestrians and bicycles. I remember during a test drive at the dealership, they demonstrated that the closer you get to an obstacle, the harder it brakes, though its effectiveness is reduced in rainy or foggy conditions. However, no matter how smart the system is, it's still just an assist—never rely on it while using your phone on the highway.
