Automatic braking systems are designed to cut down on the number of crashes, deaths, and injuries, but new data shows the systems in the test rarely worked. In AAA crash testing, the rear automatic ...

The U.S. Department of Transportation is moving forward with a proposed rulemaking to mandate automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems on trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 10,000 ...

Congress is zeroing in on automatic emergency braking as the first major test of how far Washington is willing to go to hardwire advanced safety technology into every new car and truck. The emerging ...

It's not an exaggeration to say that cars are getting more advanced with each model year. From questionable infotainment growth to semi-autonomous driving technology, manufacturers are adding features ...

GM has a wide swath of safety technologies available across its vehicle portfolio, with many of the systems offering different levels of capability and specific areas of focus. Among these is a ...

The world is full of feel-bad news. Here’s something to feel good about: Automatic emergency braking is one of the great car safety-tech success stories. Auto-braking systems, called AEB for short, ...

Rear AEB, also known as Reverse AEB and Reverse Automatic Braking, was shown to be more successful than other systems targeted to avoid backing collisions in a recent study by the Insurance Institute ...

Toyota recently announced plans to make what has been a rather exclusive kind of active-safety system a lot more accessibleby making affordable auto-braking systems available on most of its model ...

Helping to avoid or minimize potential rear-end collisions is the main benefit of Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) for the average driver. While it has not yet been mandated as standard equipment on ...

Safety features on new vehicles are progressively becoming more sophisticated, and one of the latest technologies on this front is intersection automatic emergency braking (IAEB). Intersections are ...

A new report from AAA says newer systems prevent twice the number of collisions—and save lives. Regulators have ordered an expansion of the tech, but the auto industry says the upgrade won’t be easy.

The issue with any of these is going to be false positives. An false AEB event at 35mph is a significantly less serious situation than one at 62. You are looking at roughly 3 to 4 times the stopping ...
