a system in cars that helps drivers apply maximum braking force during sudden stops to prevent accidents
Emergency brake assist is a system in a vehicle that helps apply more braking force in sudden stops to reduce stopping distance. It detects when the driver is braking quickly but may not be pressing hard enough and increases the pressure to improve safety. This system works with regular brakes and anti-lock brakes to help prevent crashes by making sure the vehicle stops as fast as possible without losing control. It is especially useful in emergencies where quick reactions are needed, helping drivers stop more effectively in dangerous situations.
