Which Cars Have Active Avoidance Systems?
2 Answers
Volvo offers emergency avoidance assistance systems, a world-first feature from Volvo. For example, the Volvo XC60 is equipped with an emergency avoidance assistance system that can apply emergency braking to prevent collisions when the vehicle's braking distance is insufficient. Below are relevant details: Definition: A car's emergency avoidance assistance system is essentially a brake assist system. Brake assist systems include electronic brake assist systems and brake force assist systems. By assessing the driver's braking actions, these systems increase braking force during emergency stops to shorten the vehicle's braking distance. However, the system does not intervene during normal braking. It only activates when it detects the driver pressing the brake pedal with extreme speed and force, which it interprets as an emergency stop. Function: The system applies additional pressure to the braking system, enhancing braking force to reduce the vehicle's speed as quickly as possible. Experimental results show that vehicles equipped with brake assist systems can reduce braking distance by up to 45%.
As a car enthusiast, I've driven many vehicles equipped with active collision avoidance systems. The Autopilot in Tesla Model 3 is truly impressive, capable of automatically steering to avoid pedestrians. The Volvo XC60, as a veteran safety-focused brand, has a highly responsive automatic braking system. German models like the Audi A6 and Mercedes-Benz E-Class also demonstrate remarkable precision. Among domestic brands, the BYD Han EV and Geely Xingyue L offer great value for money with their fast system response. Nowadays, many vehicles come standard with this feature, such as the mid-to-high trim versions of Honda Accord or Nissan Teana, making nighttime driving much more reassuring. With continuous new model releases, even the 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E has upgraded to smarter avoidance functionality.
