In the application area of forward collision warning systems, microwave radar and machine vision technology help detect and avert vehicle collisions. These systems typically use in-vehicle displays or audible alerts to warn drivers of unsafe following distances. If a driver does not properly apply brakes in a critical situation, some systems automatically assume control and apply the brakes in an attempt to avoid a collision. 7, record 1, English, - forward%20collision%20warning%20system
