Tesla have revealed a new software update that activates the Automatic Emergency Braking feature in those cars with the latest Autopilot hardware.

The automaker describes its automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system:

“Automatic Emergency Braking, a new collision Avoidance Assist feature, is designed to automatically engage the brakes to reduce the impact of an unavoidable frontal collision with another vehicle. The brakes disengage when you press hard on the accelerator pedal, release the brake pedal, or sharply turn the steering wheel.”

While Automatic Emergency Braking can’t prevent all accidents, it will often reduce the force of an impact by applying the brakes automatically if there is no way to avoid the collision.
