Fifteen automakers have made life-saving automatic emergency braking standard on nearly all of their new passenger vehicles in the U.S. this
year, fulfilling a voluntary commitment made six years ago.
Automatic Emergency Braking will detect objects in the way and force a auto stop or slow a vehicle,
preventing a crash or making it less severe. IIHS said that the systems have to earn the institute's advanced rating, slowing a vehicle by at least 10
mph in either the 12 mph or 25 mph test, or by 5 mph in both tests.
The automakers' commitment will prevent 42,000 crashes and 20,000 injuries by 2025, according to IIHS estimates.
Institute research claim has found that vehicles with both forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking cut the number of rear crashes in
half.
General Motors, the nation's top automaker by sales, reported that 73% of its models had the technology at the end of the 2022 model year.
But a spokesman said GM would hit 98% by the end of the current model year, barring supply chain issues.
So what can go wrong ?
