Abstract
Driver misuse of an automatic braking system is determined by comparing the amount of time that a vehicle moves rearwardly until it is stopped, to the amount of time after the last actuation of a brake pedal and when the vehicle is stopped. If the ratio of no brake applied time to the total reverse time is greater than a predetermined value, the automatic braking system is considered to have been misused. Each misuse occurrence increments a counter that is stored in a non-transitory memory device.
