pedestrian braking

You will find that the faster you drive, the less likely some of your safety technology will work. For example, suppose you are driving under 50 mph during the day. In that case, the front pedestrian braking system will help you avoid having a front-end collision with a pedestrian because it will detect the pedestrian sooner than if you were driving over 55 mph.

Once the pedestrian alert has been triggered, the technology will help you brake harder and faster, or the automatic emergency braking system will kick on and work with your efforts to stop the SUV. Unfortunately, much like a driver, it is difficult to see a pedestrian at night. The technology also has a more difficult time because of poor visibility. That does not mean its system doesnt work at night. It just means it is slower to detect and respond. Thats why as a driver, you must always be on top of your game.
