Mercedes Benz E Class - Euro NCAP 2013 AEB Test

Euro NCAP is now assessing crash avoidance systems. AEB City systems are assessed by Euro NCAP at a speed range of 10-50km/h. AEB Inter-Urban systems are evaluated at a speed range of 30-80 km/h. Euro NCAP evaluates the automatic brake function and the forward collision warning function in three different driving scenarios:

1. Driving towards a stationary vehicle (30-80km/h)
2. Closing in at a slower vehicle in front (30-80km/h)
3. Following a car in front which suddenly starts braking (50km/h, gentle and harsh braking)

Wow! this is the best i've seen so far... I wan't to see the Subaru Forester tested, hope you guys can do it!

[Chargemo]

No. It is a part of the optional driver assistance package.

[TheMrAllroad]

No. The result is so good because Mercedes uses a sensor fusion between a stereo camera and radar sensors. This combination gives the system a high amount of data. But other car manufacturers as Audi and Co. uses partly also a sensor fusion but most of the time with just a normal camera.

Amazing system, Nissans one needs a lot of work

[fishf]

But is it standard? I mean all E have the system?
