Of course, if the optical path - the system does not detect nearby obstacles, the vehicle will accelerate to normal.

More characteristic of the system is to use navigation system using ultrasound, automatic braking to avoid collisions review if it detects the driver does not control the situation.

The technology will be fitted on new vehicles from Nissan and Infiniti year 2012.
