Automatic emergency braking system
Collision Assist.

Using a radar sensor mounted on the front bumper and a camera mounted on the windshield, the 2018 Honda Accord can maintain cruising speed by automatically adjusting the brakes and throttle, following the distance, as well as parking and restoring cars in low-speed traffic conditions.
The ACC works with Accord\'s lane keeping assist, so the car is always stuck in the lane.
