WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver sup-
port, but it cannot detect all pedestrians in
all situations and, for example, cannot see:
partially obscured pedestrians, people
•
in clothing that hides their body con-
tour or pedestrians shorter than 80 cm
(32 in.).
pedestrians if the background contrast
•
of the pedestrians is poor - warning
and brake interventions may then be
late or not occur at all.
pedestrians who are carrying larger
•
objects.
The driver is always responsible that the
vehicle is driven correctly and with a safety
distance adapted to the speed.
Large animals
Examples of what City Safety interprets as large ani-
mals - standing still or walking slowly and with clear
body outline.
Good performance requires that the system
function that detects a large animal (e.g. elk
and horse) must receive the clearest possible
information about the body outline, requiring
the ability to identify the animal directly from
the side in combination with what is a normal
pattern of movement for the animal.
If parts of the animal's body are not visible to
the function's camera then the system cannot
detect the animal.
City Safety can also detect large animals in the
dark if they are illuminated by the car's head-
lamps.
