On the busy Franeker ring road the car in front of you suddenly brakes hard. You do not react straight away. Your car has an autonomous emergency braking system. What does that system do?
- It only warns you; you then have to do the braking yourself
- ✓ It warns you first and only brakes by itself if you do not intervene
- It brakes hard by itself straight away, without warning you first
Correct answer: It warns you first and only brakes by itself if you do not intervene
Explanation
False — You stop at the warning. After the signal the emergency braking system intervenes itself: if you do not react, the car brakes hard automatically
Why learners get this wrong
- You stop at the warning. After the signal the emergency braking system intervenes itself: if you do not react, the car brakes hard automatically
- You skip the warning. The emergency braking system first sounds a signal so that you can brake yourself; only if you do not intervene does the car brake hard automatically
