    This radar provides data for two assistants in the Octavia: Front Assistant (forward collision warning and emergency braking) and Adaptive Cruise Assistant (adaptive cruise control). A monochromatic fixed-focus multifunction camera is mounted on the windscreen in front of the rear mirror and allows the function of Lane Assistant (lane-keeping ...

  4. Brake fade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

    A small change in friction causes an exponential change in self assist. In many common brakes, a slight increase in friction can lead to wheel lockup with even light application. For example, on damp mornings, drum brakes can lock on first application, skidding to a stop even after the brake pedal has been released.

    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.
