This maximum velocity is denoted by the case variable , the friction coefficient is symbolized by —and itself a function of the tire type and road conditions, the distance is the static ACDA, the constant is the acceleration of gravity, and interval is the perception-reaction time—usually between 1.0 and 2.5 seconds.

The warning is followed by light braking to get the driver's attention. The third phase initiates autonomous partial braking at a rate of 3 m/s 2 (9.8 ft/s 2). The fourth phase increases braking to 5 m/s 2 (16.4 ft/s 2) followed by automatic full braking power, roughly half a second before projected impact. "Pre sense rear", is designed to ...
The Third Restatement of the Law, Torts: Products Liability §2(b) [1] favors the risk-utility test over the Second Restatement of the Law, Torts §402(a), which favored the consumer expectations test. §2(b) states, in part, "A product is defective when, at the time of sale or distribution...is defective in design.
