Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct. Active brakes are equipped with sensors that can detect an imminent collision and can warn the driver by increasing resistance in the brake pedal or sounding an alarm. This gives the driver time to react and apply the brakes themselves. However, Technician B is incorrect. Active brakes are capable of automatically applying the brakes if necessary to avoid a collision, which is the primary purpose of this safety feature.
