In the event of an emergency stop, as opposed to a normal, gradual one, the brake assist system will automatically apply full pressure to the brakes. In combination with anti-lock brakes, the device permits threshold braking without locking up the wheels. As research has shown that most drivers don't use the brakes as firmly as they could, even in an emergency stop, Brake Assist System ensure the safest possible stop distance is achieved. When comparing various models, safety aspects should not be overlooked. Anti-Lock brakes and electronic stability control, for instance, are quite desired. These amenities are now expected in all new vehicles, but they are still worth looking for in a used automobile.

Detection of Foot Traffic - This system leverages the capabilities of forward collision warning and automated emergency braking to assist pedestrians. The vehicle's radar or cameras scan the area for an approaching pedestrian. When the likelihood of a collision is determined to be high, some systems will issue an audio or visual warning to the driver, while others will initiate automated emergency braking. This is a vital part of forklift safety.

Control that adjusts to your speed, or "adaptive cruise control." - In order to maintain a safe following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you, adaptive cruise employs lasers, radar, cameras, or a combination of these technologies can be installed. If highway traffic slows, some systems will bring the automobile to a complete stop and automatically come up to speed when traffic begins moving again, letting the driver do little more than pay attention and steer. Some cars which are equipped with lane keeping assist will also allow the automobile to stay inside the lane markers.

Alert for blind spots - This system uses radar or cameras to alert you to the presence of another vehicle in the lane next to your vehicle, which may be hiding in your blind zone. If you ignore the system's warnings and indicate a turn nevertheless, many of them will emit an audible alarm. The car can be steered or braked to return to the centre of the lane using more advanced technologies. Wide-angle reversing visibility is also improved by exterior mirrors with a tiny convex part.

Rear-view mirror camera - Starting in the 2018 model year all light-duty cars came with standard rear-view cameras. This camera-based assistance system is engaged when the car is placed in reverse. The back view is exhibited through a centre console screen or rear-view mirror. Mostly employed as a parking help by offering a bumper-level view rearward, a backup camera can also assist with seeing a kid or pedestrian disguised in the blind zone immediately behind the car. This is a highly useful convenience and safety feature that proves its worth to you each time you get behind the wheel. Plus, some more powerful systems offer a 360-degree vision surrounding the car.
