my friend showed me his new myvi 2 and he said it has a system that automatically brakes if it detects there is something in front of it

i googled and i think its called automatic emergency braking ?

my car honda hrv doesnt have it yet, is it something that can be added to after market?

for HRV 2023-2026

honda sensing

Commonly knew as ADAS = Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) is one of the ADAS system which detects potential collisions and brakes automatically.

If bought low spec. and want to add or mod with original Honda Sensing is expensive, Subaru member got try to add on their 1st gen Xv with similar technology knew as eyesight. You need to buy half-cut and transfer all the wiring, sensor, meter, switch (can consider whole dashboard transfer over) even front windscreen need to change to suit with the ADAS system. Minimum at least 1xk to convert from half-cut with eyesight, ADAS calibration everything done.

https://kommu.ai/support/
Kommu can only support those already got Honda Sensing, if no, need to mod as per what i feedback previously buy half-cut transfer
Support
Supports only Honda vehicles that comes with Honda Sensing..

Another cheaper method is buy those high-spec camcorder with speed, front sensing, lane departure, at least it can warn owner when the front vehicle is too near but cannot brake. Example like Vueroid D21, it got so call AI ADAS: The deep learning-based AI ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) supports six types of alerts, including FPD, RPD, FCWS, RCWS, FVSA, and LDWS, to help prevent potential accidents.
Do take note, it can only warn driver but no control of braking system, the driver still need to decide either brake, avoid or crash it.

advise and remind him all the time to not rely on it solely.

it is very flawed and the car's mechanical brake itself is bare minimum only and would generally be "very sketchy" in most emergency situation.
if he need to rely on such systems, other road users , motorists, and pedestrians are at his mercy

for HRV, gen 2 with Honda Sensing have AEB
however, again, as i've demo'ed before, L1/L1.5 autonomous driving and/or ADAS is very limited and driver intervention is required and mandatory.

should not rely on such systems for general braking.

this is just an insurance system, a good to have in emergency cases where the driver panics tekan minyak instead of brake. been in situations where i wish the person who langgar me has a newer gen myvi

here's the caveat though, you will need much higher braking capability during emergency situations.
and if you cannot rely on it in general braking, you can forget about it during emergencies.

the irony that the system is typically called "AEB" Automatic Emergency Braking

what my post was a reminder and highlight, treat it as if the system is never there.
not rely it regardless general or emergency situation.

it's like insurance example you quoted, i'll add on top: Life insurance is good to have, but you do NOT want to claim your life insurance, aye? (you're not the beneficiary of it, btw.)

which is what i'm trying to say.

this is a system you wouldn't touch on a day-to-day basis, in fact, most users would forget about the whole AEB thing.

it's only in emergencies the system kicks in, you realize oh yeah good thing i have that.

sincerely hope there aren't any maniacs who actively use the AEB as general braking or try to challenge the limits of the AEB.

Brake pads & tires also need to be in good condition to be able to brake efficiently.

In few "false positives" I encountered, sometimes I actually wish it isn't there.

I've even recorded and shared YouTube lol
Generally, it gets really (and I mean over) sensitive when you have pedestrian, bicycles or motorcyclists in your radar/camera view, and your brake pedal input is completely zero. (To workaround, just gently apply some brake, even 1% and the system is hepi to let go control and not trigger AEB)

My experiences was with Civic FE, HRV second gen, CRV latest gen 6 Honda sensing

Toyota "eye sight" on GR86

Ya Myvi is pretty bad in mechanical brake suspension and tires . The exact same condition and variables Proton Iriz persona equivalent will easily out brake a Myvi with shorter distance and less tire drama (I've tested this back in 2019 and written few posts about it)

is it right for me to understand that what you are implying here is that the automatic brake system is not ..... reliable?

Yes you're correct.
Especially from Perodua

Feel free to go test drive to prove me wrong
