BMW 5 Series: The concept
With Active Protection, critical driving situations that might lead to an accident can be detected.
In in these situations, preventative protection measures are automatically undertaken to minimize the risk in the event of an accident as much as possible.
Critical driving situations may include:

With Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function, impending collisions with vehicles driving ahead or stopped in front of you can also be detected.
