Advanced Assist Steering 2
This system automatically steers the vehicle when there is imminent danger of a collision. It has two key features.
First, when driver braking and steering are not going to be enough to avoid a collision, such as when a person or vehicle suddenly rushes out in front of the car, the system quickly senses the danger and automatically makes an appropriate maneuver to avoid the collision. Further, it quickly brings the unstable movement after avoiding the collision back into a stable driving condition.
Second, when the tires move suddenly, for instance when avoiding a collision, the safety steering mechanism restrains steering wheel movement to prevent the driver from accidentally making unsafe steering moves. We believe that these technologies will become indispensable for ensuring vehicle safety.
