Airbus has introduced a similar system called BTV ROW/ROP possibly one notch up (smarter :-) ) from the HW version.

EASA certifies "Brake To Vacate" (BTV) and "Runway Overrun Warning and Prevention" (ROW/ROP) systems on the Airbus A380

It will continuously assess the aircraft's energy state during the approach and compare it to the runway length stored in the OANS database to see if a stop can be accomplished in a dry or wet runway scenario.

The BTV function allows the autobrake to modulate the braking as required to allow the aircraft slow down to a safe vacating system at an exit previously selected by the pilot.
