http://www.euroncap.com/rewards/volks... • Volkswagen City Emergency Brake is a lidar-based emergency braking system designed to help a driver avoid a low-speed crash or to reduce its severity. At vehicle speeds between 5km/h and 30km/h, City Emergency Brake monitors an area 10m ahead of the car for vehicles which might present a threat of collision. If a collision is likely, City Emergency Brake first pre-charges the brakes and makes the Emergency Brake Assist system more sensitive: if the driver should notice the risk, the car is ready to respond more quickly to his braking action. However, if the driver still takes no action and a collision becomes imminent, City Emergency Brake independently applies the brakes very hard. In ideal conditions, the car will be able to brake such that the collision is avoided if the relative speed between the car and obstacle is less than around 20km/h. At higher relative speeds, City Emergency Brake will not be able to prevent the collision but will reduce the impact speed.
