Phase 2 – Initial Emergency Conditions Sensed, No Autonomous Action

Brake Assist Plus Notifies driver that an emergency stop required. (2.6

seconds prior to estimated impact).

Lane Keeping Assist Notifies driver they are drifting from lane.

Phase 3 – Intervention Action Necessary, Some Autonomous Action

Brake Assist Plus Initiates partial braking at 40% (1.6 seconds prior to

estimated impact). If driver engages brakes full force is

automatically applied.

Lane Keeping Assist Uses steering or selective braking as corrective action,

automobile returned to lane.
