How does the pedestrian detection system in Audi A1 work?

I've heard that the Audi A1 has a feature to detect pedestrians, but I'm not sure how it works. Can someone explain this in more detail?

The pedestrian detection system in Audi A1 uses a combination of radar sensors, cameras, and software to identify and track potential hazards on the road. It can detect and alert the driver of pedestrians walking, running, or even cycling near the car.

Once the system has detected a pedestrian, it can automatically apply the brakes to avoid a collision. It can also give a warning to the driver to take evasive action if necessary.

This system is especially helpful in urban areas where there are a lot of pedestrians and potential distractions for the driver. It adds an extra layer of safety for both the driver and pedestrians on the road.
