Abstract
A vehicle includes a vehicle-driver interface and an automated braking system. The automated braking system is configured to automatically apply vehicle brakes in response to a detected rearward object and the vehicle being in REVERSE. The automated braking system is additionally configured to release the brakes in response to a driver input at the vehicle-driver interface when a distance from the vehicle to the rearward object exceeds a calibratable threshold. The automated braking system is further configured to apply the brakes in response to the vehicle traveling a predefined distance after the driver input.
