The 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe PPV is the first vehicle in
its class able to minimize potential crash speeds or help avoid accidents all
together.
Aside from the active safety tech, the Tahoe PPV
(Police Pursuit Vehicle) also comes with a wide array of safety enhancing
features as standard, such as ESC or a Rear Vision Camera with Rear Park
Assist.
The new tech is part of Chevrolet's Enhanced Driver
Assist Package, which features Low Speed Forward Automatic Braking, Forward
Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Safety Alert
Driver Seat and Power Adjustable Pedals.
The Low Speed Forward Automatic Braking feature has
never been offered on a pursuit-rated vehicle before. It works by applying the
brakes automatically to help reduce the severity of a crash, as long as the
vehicle is traveling at a low speed and the driver hasn't already applied the
brakes.
The GM-patented Safety Alert Seat system
can alert the driver through haptic seat-bottom vibration pulses, instead of
the usual audible crash avoidance alerts.
