As any parent can tell you, raising children takes a special sort of fortitude, but if your watchful eye could use a little backup on the road, consider going with the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas and it’s available Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Monitoring (Front Assist). You can catch an emotional demonstration in the video below, but we’ll also explain the feature, too.
Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection | How It Works:
Part of the available driver-assistance package called Front Assist, Forward Collision Warning with Autonomous Emergency Braking & Pedestrian Monitoring works to alert the driver—using both a visual and an acoustic warning—of a possible forward collision with either a vehicle or a pedestrian in the path. If the driver doesn’t take action to avoid collision or the vehicle is traveling under 18 mph, the vehicle can apply braking pressure to try to avoid or lessen the severity of any potential collision. As you can see in the demonstration above, this available feature can be a life saver, and while you hope it never has to spring into action, the peace of mind you get from it is priceless.
