I know mine is camera-based. The car does not have adaptive cruise control, so no radar, just front parking sensors - but those are probably just used for the "the car ahead of you has started moving!" warning, which is the exact opposite of AEB.

By the way, no adaptive cruise control does not always mean that there is no radar. Some car still keep the radar and use it for AEB, but have ACC disabled I’d you do not purchase it when configuring the car.

Ah OK, in my car AEB and SCC ("Smart Cruise Control" as they call it) are the same sub-system - when one broke due to the no-input fail-safe, so did the other. The radar is behind the badge and works in tandem with the camera I believe.
