The IIHS has updated its automatic emergency braking and collision warning tests, and SUVs are struggling
Too many cars were acing the IIHS 's crash prevention evaluation, so it has made the tests tougher. Based on real-world data, the safety organization decided to run its tests at higher speeds, and to evaluate crash prevention systems against motorcycles and semi trailers. Of 10 SUVs included in the updated test, only the Subaru Forester earned a good rating.
Now, the evaluations are being run at 31, 37, and 43 mph . The tests will also evaluate how crash prevention systems operate when a vehicle is approaching a motorcycle or a semi truck. Obviously, crashes that happen at higher speeds are more dangerous, said David Kidd, the IIHS Senior Research Scientist who led the development of the new evaluation.
