In the 2016 Berlin truck attack, the vehicle used was brought to a stop by its automatic braking system. [39] Collision avoidance features are rapidly making their way into the new vehicle fleet. In a study of police-reported crashes, automatic emergency braking was found to reduce the incidence of rear-end crashes by 39 percent. [40]
FMVSS No. 127: [30] Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) (previously "Speedometers and odometers", revoked in 1982) [31] FMVSS No. 128: [Reserved] (previously "Fields of direct view", rescinded in 1981) [32] FMVSS No. 129: [33] New non-pneumatic tires for passenger cars- new temporary spare non-pneumatic tires for use on passenger cars
Multi-collision brake system (automatic post-collision braking system) to automatically brake the car after an accident to avoid a second collision. City emergency braking automatically activates brakes at low speeds in urban situations. 2014: Volkswagen Passat (B8) introduced pedestrian recognition as a part of the system. It uses a sensor ...
Most new cars already have it, but federal safety regulators are looking to make the safety feature standard on every vehicle.
The new rule requires all passenger vehicles weighing 10,000 pounds (4,500 kilograms) or less to have forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection braking. The standards require vehicles to stop and avoid hitting a vehicle in front of them at speeds up to 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour).
In the not-too-distant future, automatic emergency braking will have to come standard on all new passenger vehicles in the United States, a requirement that the government says will save hundreds ...
Rejecting a request from an automaker organization, NHTSA declines to reconsider the AEB requirement, which will go into effect in 2029—maybe.
If an emergency develops, a slow reaction and less than maximum braking input could result in insufficient time or distance to stop before an accident occurs. EBA is designed to detect such "panic stops" and apply maximum braking effort within milliseconds. It interprets braking behaviour by assessing the rate that the brake pedal is activated.
