  • at least one image capture device configured to acquire a plurality of images of an area including an object in front of the vehicle;

    a data interface; and

    at least one processing device programmed to;

    receive the plurality of images via the data interface;

    perform a first image analysis based on at least a first image and a second image to determine a first estimated time-to-collision of the vehicle with the object;

    perform a second image analysis based on at least a third image and a fourth image to determine a second estimated time-to-collision of the vehicle with the object;

    calculate a difference between the first estimated time-to-collision and the second estimated time-to-collision;

    determine that the difference does not exceed a predetermined threshold; and

    cause the vehicle to brake based on the determination that the difference does not exceed the predetermined threshold.
