What is a Collision Avoidance System?

Manufacturers are now using multiple systems to help avoid or at least mitigate collisions using different sensors around the car that work to keep the vehicle out of harm’s way. One example of this is Volvo’s City safety with steering support. This system works in the same way as AEB, with additional support if the driver needs to make an evasive manoeuvre around an obstacle in the road to help prevent a skid or over steering.
