The cost here is pretty trivial from my understanding. It’s essentially just a vision system that can send a brake command. Aka a camera behind the mirror and a microprocessor.

Much of the other components are already present on modern vehicles.

This requires a automotive grade camera with connection to the can Bus.

This might not be expensive per se but is still a few hundred bucks.

For a small car this can easily be a few percent extra.

The cost to implement it or the cost to make it utterly bulletproof?
