So an object is detected, it beeps and flashes the brake lights, then if the driver does nothing, it brakes? What does the driver need to do to have it not brake? What about when there isn't sufficient time between object detection and anticipated impact to warn the driver? What frequency of beeping would be preferable to just driving the car manually?

Yes, it brakes if the driver does nothing. Preferably slowly if the distance to obstacle allows it. If the user brakes instead, the human operator takes over, even if s/he softly brakes for n seconds, it could turn off the hazard warning. If there isn't sufficient time to warn the driver, have it just brake automatically to avoid collision. This is what AEBS/AEB collision avoidance systems do. Frequency of beeping could be increasing with distance to object, just like parking sensors. Continuous beep = accident imminent.
