Keeping drivers and passengers as safe as possible is one of Nissan’s top priorities, so the automaker is constantly going above and beyond to create new safety technologies. One new safety technology we are excited about right now is Forward Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection. This advanced safety system is specifically designed to help drivers avoid frontal collisions, but how exactly does it work?

Nissan’s Forward Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
Nissan’s Forward Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection uses a front camera and radar technology to detect obstructions or pedestrians that are directly in front of the Nissan. The advanced systems uses a variety of factors to determine whether or not a collision is possible, but if the system determines that there may be a collision, it will give the driver audio and visual cues to warn the driver that preventative actions may need to be taken. If the driver maneuver out of the way or hit the brakes, the system will apply an emergency brake and again send the driver audio and visual alerts. At this point, if the driver still hasn’t taken preventative action and the system determines that the risk of the collision is high, the system will take matters into its own hands and forcefully apply the brakes automatically.
