Latin NCAP gives Ranger's Pre-Collision Assist full pedestrian marks

Latin NCAP's 2024 tests gave the Ford Ranger's automatic emergency braking a full 12.00 points, with 100% in each pedestrian scenario. Pre-Collision Assist scored 8.57 points for interurban braking.

  • Not rated society

    Pedestrians and cyclists stand to gain, but Latin NCAP reports track tests with dummies and no crash outcomes.

Depth runs from 1, a convenience or time saved, to 5, a life or a livelihood preserved.

Size

No magnitude yet: scale, reach, duration, distribution and frequency are not documented.

The system’s part
Not isolated. Latin NCAP tested the truck with the system on and ran no test without it, so the scores describe the system on the track. Latin NCAP does not describe the sensors. Ford wrote in 2020 that Mobileye's EyeQ chips and vision software would support Pre-Collision Assist across its global lineup, and Mobileye calls EyeQ an AI engine for convolutional neural networks. Neither document names the Ranger.
Learns from data

Not shown. Latin NCAP does not describe the sensors. Ford wrote in 2020 that Mobileye's EyeQ chips and vision software would support Pre-Collision Assist in Ford vehicles globally, and Mobileye describes EyeQ's deep learning accelerator for convolutional neural networks. Neither names the Ranger or shows that its software learned from data.

“Used to help precisely identify what the windshield camera in a vehicle can see – including lane markings, traffic signs, pedestrians and other vehicles – Mobileye's technology will support features such as Lane-Keeping System, Auto High-Beam headlamps, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking and Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control, as well as Active Drive Assist hands-free driving coming to the all-new Mustang Mach-E and all-new F-150.” Source

Details

AI system

Workflow

Latin NCAP ran its pedestrian AEB scenarios on a Ranger with pedestrian AEB fitted. The system scored 100% in each pedestrian scenario and 100% for human-machine interaction.

Follow-up

Conditions for replication

The truck has the optional pedestrian AEB fitted. The pedestrian or cyclist crosses or walks in the truck's path as in the test scenarios.

Entry details

Sector

Road vehicle crash avoidance.

Purpose

Ford built Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking to warn the driver and brake automatically when a collision with a vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist ahead becomes likely.
