What capability distinguishes automatic emergency braking (AEB) from an alert that only warns of collision risk?

Correct answer

It can automatically apply the brakes to avoid or mitigate a collision.

It can automatically apply the brakes when it detects an imminent collision and the driver’s response is insufficient, aiming to avoid impact or reduce its consequences within operating limits. It may warn the driver, but warning sequence, available time and intervention depend on the system and situation; it does not always have to wait for a driver to ignore an alert. It does not guarantee stopping the vehicle or avoiding every collision and does not replace driver attention.
