Bendix® Wingman® Advanced™ - A Collision Mitigation Technology

This video provides an introduction to Bendix® Wingman® Advanced™ -- A Collision Mitigation technology, which delivers adaptive cruise control with braking features along with collision mitigation technology. The Bendix Wingman Advanced system delivers both warnings and active interventions to help drivers avoid, or reduce the severity of, rear-end collisions. The system provides following distance and stationary object alerts, which are always available -- whether or not cruise control is engaged. When drivers utilize the adaptive cruise control with braking feature, the system will also actively intervene to help them maintain a safe following distance behind a forward vehicle by reducing throttle; engaging the engine retarder; or, if necessary, applying the foundation brakes. The collision mitigation feature of Bendix Wingman Advanced provides additional interventions, whether or not cruise control is active, by alerting the driver and automatically applying the brakes to help decelerate the vehicle when the system senses a rear-end collision may be imminent. The system is designed and delivered by Bendix, the North American leader in active vehicle safety and braking technologies. Ultimate responsibility for the safe operation of the vehicle remains with the driver at all times. The Wingman Advanced system DOES NOT replace the need for skilled, alert drivers exercising safe driving practices, nor the need for ongoing, comprehensive driver training. Performance of Wingman Advanced and the Bendix® ESP® stability system may be limited by poor braking system maintenance practices and improper tire maintenance.
