Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection at Ed Martin Nissan
Stay ahead of the unexpected with Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, one of Nissan’s most trusted safety features. Designed to help reduce or avoid frontal collisions, this system alerts you when a vehicle or person is in your path—and can automatically apply the brakes if needed.
For drivers across central Indiana and the greater Indianapolis area, this technology adds confidence to every drive—whether you're commuting on busy highways, navigating local intersections, or traveling through neighborhood streets. At Ed Martin Nissan of Fishers, we’re proud to offer a full lineup of new Nissan vehicles equipped with this advanced protection.
What Is Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection?
Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection is a forward-thinking safety feature that helps you react faster when something—or someone—is in your path. Using advanced radar and camera technology, the system monitors the road ahead and alerts you if it detects a potential collision with a vehicle or pedestrian.
If you don’t respond quickly enough, it can automatically apply the brakes to help reduce the severity of a crash—or avoid it altogether.
This feature is especially helpful in real-world driving conditions like:
- Slowing traffic on busy highways
- Sudden stops at intersections
- Unexpected foot traffic near crosswalks or shopping centers
For example, if you're approaching a pedestrian-filled intersection in downtown Carmel, the system can step in and help prevent an accident when your reaction time isn’t enough. Whether you’re driving in the city or through suburban neighborhoods, it's an added layer of protection that works when you need it most.
Built for the Roads You Drive Every Day
Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection isn't just smart—it’s practical for the way Hoosiers drive every day. From busy highways to quiet neighborhoods, this feature helps protect you and those around you by watching what’s ahead—even when your attention is pulled in other directions.
Here’s how it plays out on real Indiana roads:
In stop-and-go traffic on I-69, the system can detect sudden slowdowns and apply the brakes before a rear-end collision happens.
Driving near a school zone in Zionsville? The system can recognize pedestrians stepping into the street and respond before you even hit the brakes.
On a rainy night in Fishers, it adds peace of mind when visibility is low and crosswalks are harder to see.
During foggy mornings or when the sun causes glare, the system remains alert—monitoring for cars and people when you might not have a clear view.
Whether you're on your daily commute or running errands around Greenwood, this technology is designed to respond to the kinds of hazards Indiana drivers face every day.

How AEB with Pedestrian Detection Fits into the Bigger Safety Picture
Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection is just one part of Nissan’s broader approach to intelligent safety. It’s a core feature within the Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite—a package of six advanced driver assistance technologies designed to work together and support you behind the wheel.
While AEB focuses on forward protection, it pairs seamlessly with other systems to cover all angles:
- Lane Departure Warning: Helps keep you centered on the road, especially during longer highway drives.
- Rear Automatic Braking: Adds protection when reversing out of parking spaces or driveways.
- Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert: Help you make safer lane changes and back out with more awareness.
- High Beam Assist: Improves nighttime visibility without distracting other drivers.
Together, these features form a layered safety system that helps reduce risk in every direction. And unlike some manufacturers that limit these technologies to higher trims, Nissan makes them widely available—so more drivers benefit from smarter protection.
