JAKARTA For supercar owners, slashing sleeping police or steep incline can be a nightmare. The front of the car, especially splitters, is very vulnerable to being scratched and damaged. However, Ferrari now has a smart solution to the problem.
In its latest patent filing, citing CarBuzz and Carscoops reports, Tuesday, August 26, Ferrari described an automated braking system specifically designed to protect splitters and car bodies from collisions. Unlike ordinary systems that rely solely on distance, this technology detects objects based on their altitude relative to the position of the car.
This system is said to use a series of sensors to measure the height of the object in front of the car. If the sensor detects an object that is too high to pass without sneering, the system will send a sound warning to the driver.
Interestingly, if the driver continues to drive, the system will take control and activate the brakes automatically. This is a proactive step that can prevent expensive damage to cars that can cost tens of billions of rupiah.

Not only that, this patent also shows a unique approach in measuring speeds. Instead of relying on internal car data, the system calculates the real-time speed by measuring the distance between two points, a method that is claimed to be more accurate to this scenario.
This technology is an interesting alternative to other features that already exist in the market. Manufacturers such as Porsche and Chevrolet have long used an axle lift (wheellifting) system that can automatically raise the suspension of the car as it approaches the incline or sleeping police programmed in the GPS system.
This Ferrari patent can be a lighter solution for customers who want to save their car weight by not installing an axle lift system. However, keep in mind that this is still a patent. There is no guarantee that this advanced feature will actually be installed in Ferrari's future production cars.
