The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration is requiring all cars have emergency automatic breaking by 2029.
Automatic emergency breaking systems literally take control of the vehicle and slow it down or stop it, potentially saving another persons life as the driver fails to pay attention to the road.
“Everyday more than 115 people are killed on our roadways, that equates to 43,000 people being killed. Can you imagine if that happened in any other form of transportation?” Cathy Chase with Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety said. In a 27-page statement sent to the US House of Representatives last September, she argued motor vehicle crashes are a public health crisis which demands immediate action. She says mandating emergency braking systems is a huge step in the right direction.
Vehicles must automatically apply the brakes at up to 90 mph when a collision with vehicle ahead is imminent.Must stop and avoid a pedestrian at 31 mph to 40 depending on the pedestrian’s location and movement.
