History[edit]
The first demonstration of forward collision avoidance was performed in 1995 by a team of scientists and engineers at Hughes Research Laboratories in Malibu, California. The project was funded by
Delco Electronics, and was led by HRL physicist Ross D. Olney. The technology was labeled for marketing purposes as "Forewarn". The system was radar based - a technology that was readily available at
Hughes Electronics, but not commercially elsewhere. A small custom fabricated radar-head was developed specifically for this automotive application at 77 GHz. The forward radar-head, plus the signal processing unit and visual-audio-tactile feedbacks were first integrated into a
Lexus SC400, and shortly thereafter into a
Cadillac STS.
[8] An SUV-style concept vehicle known as SSC (Safety Security & Communications), that contained many other of Delco's most advanced technologies,
[9] also received the "Forewarn" collision avoidance system and was shown to the public for the first time at the North American International Auto Show at Cobo Hall in Detroit in 1996. This was a fully functional vehicle, and demonstrations were concurrently being provided by a duplicate vehicle.

Toyota[edit]

Toyota's pre-collision system (PCS) is a
radar-based system that uses a forward-facing millimeter-wave radar. When the system determines that a frontal collision is unavoidable, it preemptively tightens the
seat belts, removing any slack, and pre-charges the brakes using
brake assist to give the driver maximum stopping power when the driver depresses the brake pedal.
2003 February: Toyota
launched PCS in on the redesigned Japanese domestic market Harrier
2003 August: added an automatic partial pre-crash braking system to the Celsior.[55]
2003 September: PCS made available in North America on the Lexus LS 430, becoming the first radar-guided forward collision warning system offered in the US.[56]
Mercedes-Benz[edit]
Mercedes' "Pre-Safe" system was exhibited at the Paris Motor Show on the 2003 S-Class.
Il salone di Parigi è a SETTEMBRE e Mercedes ha PRESENTATO il suo sistema su una vettura non ancora in commercio, quando su Toyota Lexus era già in VENDITA.
