This technological suite functions as a proactive safety system in Audi vehicles. It leverages sensors to monitor the environment around the car, identifying potentially critical situations. For instance, the system might detect a pedestrian crossing the road unexpectedly or a vehicle ahead braking sharply.
The importance of this feature lies in its ability to mitigate or prevent accidents. By detecting impending collisions, the system can initiate warnings, pre-tension seatbelts, and even apply partial or full emergency braking. The advantages extend beyond collision avoidance, potentially reducing the severity of impacts when they are unavoidable, thereby minimizing injuries and property damage. This functionality represents a significant evolution in automotive safety.
