Ford recently introduced a Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection is intended to avoid a collision with a pedestrian.
This technology uses radar and a camera that will monitor the road in front of him and react when there is a pedestrian in front.
The greatness of this technology is in the automatic braking system when the car is already very close and almost hit pedestrians there.
First of all when there is a pedestrian who is considered close enough then the system will notify the driver by means of audio (voice) and visual (notification on the dashboard), but if the driver does not directly slow the pace of the car or do not respond to the warning, the system will alert by increasing the ability of the car brake by shortening the distance between the disc (disc) and brake pads.
By shortening the distance of the braking system can quickly and accurately so they can avoid a collision that is, can be seen in the video below how the car can brake automatically in very close proximity to the pedestrian.
This important technology great again promised by Ford will begin production in 2015, aka soon we can enjoy this technology, at least later may no longer riders paraded and diterbalikan his car hit a person because the person who actually crossed carelessly.
