Like a bat flying safely in the dark:
Bats fly in the pitch black but rarely, if ever, hit a tree or a wall. Some types of bats can even catch insects while flying in the dark. To do this, bats use sonar, analyzing how the signals bounce off other objects to give them an accurate grasp on distances and locations.

The latest technology in cars uses similar techniques to analyze certain environments and situations. A driver must use his or her eyes and ears to check his surroundings, but the car itself is now able to employ cameras, sonar and radar to help a driver “see” its surrounding.
Constantly monitoring the distance from other cars:
Why would cars do this? After all, a car isn’t a bat. But this technology was designed with the hope that it can significantly reduce the number of accidents that might occur. Under certain circumstances, the technology calculates whether there is a risk of a collision with an object detected around the vehicle, then can respond, helping to prevent an accident.
To understand how the technology is able to check the vehicle’s surroundings, let’s look at an example of a safety technology. Similar to how a bat can avoid colliding with something even in pitch darkness, the Forward Emergency Braking technology can help drivers avoid certain dangers.The Forward Emergency Braking system is constantly monitoring the distance between the vehicle and the one in front of it. This means that if for some reason the distance to the other car suddenly decreases, the system will determine that there is a risk of collision and will sound an audible alert.
