Cars with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)

Critical Safety28 models available

Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) detects imminent collisions and applies the brakes if you don't react in time. The most important active safety feature for expressway driving where speeds are 80-100 kph.

How AEB Works

1

Sensor Monitors Ahead

Radar, camera, or lidar sensors continuously scan the road ahead for vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles. Detection range is typically 50-150 meters at expressway speeds.

2

Collision Risk Detected

When the system determines a collision is likely, it first issues a visual and audible warning. Pre-collision braking may also be engaged to prepare the brake system.

3

Emergency Braking Applied

If you don't brake in time, AEB automatically applies full braking force. At expressway speeds, AEB can significantly reduce collision severity or avoid the crash entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Automatic Emergency Braking?
AEB is a safety system that detects imminent front-end collisions and applies the brakes automatically if the driver doesn't respond in time. It uses radar, cameras, or both to monitor the road ahead.
How effective is AEB on expressways?
AEB is highly effective at expressway speeds. Studies show it can reduce rear-end collisions by up to 50%. At speeds above 80 kph (typical on NLEX and SLEX), AEB may not prevent a collision entirely but will significantly reduce impact speed and severity.
What is the cheapest car with AEB in the Philippines?
The most affordable car with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) in the Philippines is the Toyota Hilux, starting at ₱891,000. It's a Pickup Truck.
Does AEB work at night?
Yes, radar-based AEB systems work day and night. Camera-only systems may have reduced effectiveness in very low light conditions. Most modern AEB systems use a combination of both for reliability.
Can AEB cause false braking?
Modern AEB systems are designed to minimize false activations. However, overhead signs, sharp curves, or metal guardrails on expressways can occasionally trigger warnings. Systems improve with software updates.
