Does the RCTA stop the vehicle if a collision will occur when backing out similar to Infiniti back up collision intervention?

No, it doesn't stop the car. Just tells you there's a car coming with beeps and flashing in the mirrors, and the screen shows which side.

Thanks for the info. Seems like a no brainer to have it auto brake also.

Be careful what you wish for, some systems "false" and apply the brakes unnecessarily.

I'd rather have a few false positives when backing out if it means saving even 1 accident. With the visibility issues in vehicles like this, every safety option is welcome. They can even add an off on switch to the autobraking function if needed.

I do not see a problem with hearing the alarm and applying break as required. It works quite well.

It is not like it needs to be like the anti collision system where it brakes to avoid an high speed accident.

The Infiniti system first alarms and flashes the side mirror lights then brakes "if needed" if the driver does not react in time.
