Safe drive systems says using radar for forward collision warning is more reliable than a camera based system because the signal is not affected by fog or bad weather. In order to avoid a collision this system actively supports the driver with an evasive manoeuvre. The bmw i3 front end collision system can help to prevent accidents by alerting the driver by use of a warning light. Accordingly the bonnet was tested in its deployed raised position and protection over its surface was almost entirely good poor results being recorded only along the base of the windscreen and on the stiff windscreen pillars.

If there is imminent danger of collision the warning light will flash along with an audible signal. Automatic braking may be applied to reduce collision impact force. Forward collision warning fcw systems provide visual audible and or tactile alerts to warn a driver of an impending collision with a car or object directly in its forward path. The time of these warnings may vary depending on the current driving situation.

Bmw showed that the system performed robustly for a variety of pedestrian statures and over a wide range of speeds. The system issues a two phase warning of a danger of collision at speeds above approx. This computed pressure is depending on the system independently transmitted by the assistant into an automatic brake or only then applied when you press the brake pedal.
