How does Audi's Automatic Emergency Braking system work in the A8?

I've heard that the Audi A8 has a advanced safety features including Automatic Emergency Braking. Can you explain how this feature works and how it can benefit drivers?

Audi's Automatic Emergency Braking system uses in-vehicle sensors and cameras to detect potential collisions. If a collision is imminent, the vehicle will automatically apply the brakes to help mitigate or avoid the impact.

This feature can be a lifesaver in emergency situations, as it can react faster than humans and possibly prevent a crash. However, it's always important to stay alert and engaged while driving, as no technology is foolproof.

In addition to mitigating collisions, some versions of the Automatic Emergency Braking system in the Audi A8 can also detect pedestrians and cyclists, providing an even higher level of safety.
