   AEB differs from forward collision warning: FCW alerts the driver with a warning but does not by itself brake the vehicle. [4] According to Euro NCAP, AEB has three characteristics: [5] Autonomous: the system acts independently of the driver to avoid or mitigate the accident. Emergency: the system will intervene only in a critical situation.

   A value of 50% would mean, that half of the weight transfer to the front wheels; during braking, it is being transmitted through front suspension linkage, and half is being transmitted through front suspension springs. For inboard brakes, the same procedure is followed, but using the wheel center instead of contact patch center.
