  2. Sudden unintended acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_unintended_acceleration

    Ways of resolving sudden unintended acceleration is to apply the brakes and/or clutch, or shift into neutral if the car has an automatic transmission. [72] [73] [3] In most cars, fully applied brakes are easily capable of stopping the car while the accelerator pedal is also fully applied. [17] "

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_avoidance_system

    2003: Honda introduced autonomous braking (Collision Mitigation Brake System CMBS, originally CMS) front collision avoidance system on the Inspire [29] and later in Acura, using a radar-based system to monitor the situation ahead and provide brake assistance if the driver reacts with insufficient force on the brake pedal after a warning in the ...

    The complaints allege that the automatic emergency braking system can brake the vehicles with nothing in their forward path, increasing the risk of a crash. The agency said it has 47 reports of ...

  5. Cornering brake control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornering_Brake_Control

    Cornering Brake Control (CBC) is an automotive safety measure that improves handling performance by distributing the force applied on the wheels of a vehicle while turning corners. Introduced by BMW in 1992, the technology is now featured in modern electric and gasoline vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, and trucks.

  6. Automated emergency braking system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_emergency...

    Autonomous: the system acts independently of the driver to avoid or mitigate the accident. Emergency: the system will intervene only in a critical situation. Braking: the system tries to avoid the accident by applying the brakes. Time-to-collision could be a way to choose which avoidance method (braking or steering) is most appropriate. [6]

    The system prevents wheels and steering from locking up, which can cause a vehicle to skid and the driver to lose control. Antilock-brake systems became federally mandated in 2012. Check to see if ...

  8. Electronic brakeforce distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_brakeforce...

    Electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD or EBFD) or electronic brakeforce limitation (EBL) is an automobile brake technology that automatically varies the amount of force applied to each of a vehicle's wheels, based on road conditions, speed, loading, etc, thus providing intelligent control of both brake balance and overall brake force.

  9. Brake fluid pressure sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fluid_pressure_sensor

    The fault could be lack of hydraulic fluid, low brake fluid in the reservoir, a broken hydraulic line or a bad master brake cylinder. The sensor is used to detect pressure differentials in the hydraulic system. If the car alerts a fault in the hydraulic system and the system checks out, the sensor itself may have failed. [2]
