## Narrative
It was stop and go traffic.  I was distracted and the car failed to auto stop and I hit the car in front of me.  The alert did come on after the collision.  I would assume the automatic braking failed or the collision would not have occurred.    It was a low speed impact so not a major safety risk but even a minor collision can have a significant injury in susceptible subjects?  The problem has not been reproduced to my knowledge.   The component has not been inspected. The car has been evaluated by a body shop for damages and the damages are significant.  The warning light came on in an inadequate time to prevent the collision.  There were no other warning lamps
