A group representing major automakers asked the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to reconsider the rule issued in April requiring nearly all new cars and trucks by 2029 to have advanced automatic emergency braking systems.
WASHINGTON —
The group said NHTSA's stringent requirements at higher driving speeds will result in vehicles"automatically applying the brakes far in advance of what a typical driver and others on the road would expect" resulting in rear-end collisions. It also argued NHTSA"vastly underestimated the necessary and costly hardware and software change required for vehicles to comply.
NHTSA did not immediately comment but said in April the rule will save at least 360 lives annually and prevent at least 24,000 injuries as traffic deaths spiked after COVID-19.
