As the technology continues to migrate throughout the industry, automakers are offering more and more mainstream cars with forward collision warning systems (FCW). The technology comes in a variety of different flavors, but the key is that the systems can tell if your car is coming up on another vehicle too quickly, after which they can alert you to take corrective action of some sort. In the more advanced setups, this functionality also can detect pedestrians and/or automatically engage the vehicle’s brakes for you. In fact, there are so many entries with automatic emergency braking that we’ve given them a separate list that readers should watch for in the near future.
