Looking at the description the BMW US website, it doesn't make much sense:
"If a crash was unavoidable, the system applies the vehicle’s brakes automatically and brings it to a standstill, without the driver needing to act. This reduces – or in an ideal case completely rules out– the probability of secondary of follow-on collisions and their consequences."
So if a crash was unavoidable, it avoids it? Eh??
And what do they mean by secondary follow-on collisions? Don't those usually involve people going into the back of you etc, which Active Protection obviously isn't going to be able to prevent?
