Turning assistant
Driver-assistance system
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Turning assistant is an advanced driver-assistance system introduced in 2015.
The system monitors opposing traffic when turning across traffic at low speeds. In critical situation, it brakes the car. This is a common scenario at busy city crossings as well as on highways, where the speed limits are higher.[1]
Operation
A turning assistant monitors oncoming traffic while the driver is preparing to turn across traffic.[2] On some vehicles, monitoring begins when the driver activates the direction indicator,[3] using sensors such as radar, a front camera and, in some models, lidar.[4] At low speeds, the system may warn the driver or apply the brakes to prevent or mitigate a traffic collision with an oncoming vehicle.[4]
