Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) relies on radar, cameras, or lidar to detect an imminent forward collision. If the driver fails to react in time, the system overrides driver input and applies maximum braking pressure. Technicians must properly calibrate the forward-facing sensors after windshield replacement or front-end collision repair to ensure the system functions correctly.
Heard on the job
I had to recalibrate the front camera because the AEB was throwing a fault code after the windshield swap.
