Honda has reportedly developed an automatic braking system that is capable of preventing a vehicle travelling as fast as 60kph from colliding with a pedestrian.
The Nikkei news agency said that Honda’s new technology employs radar and a high-resolution camera to identify pedestrians sooner than conventional braking systems can. The report said that Honda’s system is able to prevent a collision even if the vehicle is travelling at 60kph, twice as fast as similar systems developed by others.
