Braking is the means of choice in inner city areas. Here, because of lower vehicle speeds, an emergency stop is more effective than evasive action. Continental's Emergency Brake Assist City, in series production since two years, prevents collisions at inner city speeds or mitigates the consequences if the driver fails to react.

Emergency Steer Assist is an additional ContiGuard module
Emergency Steer Assist adds to Continental's portfolio of sophisticated driver assistance systems. These include advanced driver comfort assistance systems which relieve the driver of routine tasks and allow him to react with greater assurance and more concentration even in critical traffic conditions. In contrast, it is precisely in dangerous situations that advanced driver safety assistance systems, such as Emergency Brake Assist, intervene to avoid a rear-end collision for example.

Emergency Steer Assist is an additional module in Continental's ContiGuard® safety concept. This opens up a new dimension of driving safety because ContiGuard® integrates both active and passive safety systems which are more effective and comprehensive due to the utilization of surrounding sensors and their coordinated interaction. By embracing ContiGuard® on the path towards Vision Zero, i.e. road traffic with zero fatalities, vehicle manufacturers can effectively help avoid accidents or at least minimize their consequences and the risk of injuries for all road users.
