Bendix Wingman Advanced

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. Bendix Wingman Advanced delivers both warnings and active interventions to help drivers avoid rear-end collisions or, at least, help reduce their severity. 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. Active safety technologies do not replace the need for alert, safe drivers practicing safe driving habits, as well as continuous, comprehensive driver training. Vehicle safety remains the primary responsibility of the driver. For more information, call 1-800-AIR-BRAKE (1-800-247-2725) or visit http://www.bendix.com/.
