An advanced emergency braking system (AEBS) or autonomous emergency braking (AEB)[1] is an autonomous road vehicle safety system which employs sensors to monitor the proximity of vehicles in front and detects situations where the relative speed and distance between the host and target vehicles suggest that a collision is imminent. In such a situation, emergency braking can be automatically applied to avoid the collision or at least to mitigate its effects. United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) has announced that this kind of system will become mandatory for new heavy vehicles starting in 2015.[2] A recent study suggests that if all cars feature the system, it will reduce accidents by up to 27 percent and save up to 8000 lives per year on European roads.[3][4]
