The national standard (GB17354-1998) places clear requirements on the safety of automobile front and rear end protection devices: the design of the elements mounted at the front and rear ends of the vehicle is such that they do not cause serious damage to the vehicle after contact and light impact, and the signaling device should continue to function properly. Therefore, the collision safety of the adaptive cruise control system, which is one of the signaling devices, is a prerequisite that must be met during the development of the automobile. In some application scenarios, the adaptive cruise control system inevitably collides with the outside, and under such conditions, there is no corresponding solution in the current technology as to how to ensure the functional safety of the adaptive cruise control system and the peripheral devices.

Fig. 1B is a schematic view of a deformation of the mounting bracket of fig. 1A, and fig. 1B shows a deformation of the mounting bracket 10 in a low-speed collision. As shown in fig. 1B, after the upper end of the mounting bracket 10 is deformed, the adaptive cruise control system 30 has a large angle deviating from the vertical direction, which results in the abnormal operation of the adaptive cruise control system 30, and because there is not enough space between the mounting bracket 10 and the adaptive cruise control system, the displacement of the deformation is large, which causes secondary damage to other devices on the deformed path, and thus the maintenance cost is greatly increased.
