Manoeuvre braking: protection against a sideways sweep

Useful to know

Bosch's Maneuver emergency braking monitors the nearby environment through ultrasonic sensors. The system combines speed and steering angle to assess the trajectory and possible impact in a manoeuvre. [1]

The goal involves avoiding hanging columns, poles or adjacent cars with the side part. This is a more specific task than a simple sound measurement of distance behind the bumper. When comparing equipment, check whether there is only a warning or an automatic stop. Support does not make sensors all-seeing; narrow maneuvers continue to require monitoring by the driver.
