“Today, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA finalized a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard that will make automatic emergency braking (#AEB), including pedestrian AEB, standard on all #PassengerCars and #LightTrucks by September 2029.” This is undoubtedly a major development in the automotive industry! 🚗 💨 NHTSA projects that this new standard, FMVSS No. 127, will save at least 360 lives a year and prevent at least 24,000 injuries annually. The proposal by NHTSA to mandate AEB comes nearly seven years after Euro NCAP - For Safer Cars, Vans & Trucks's timeline. So, what are the notable differences between the two? ✅ Firstly, NHTSA's #PedestrianAEB requirement applies only to pedestrians, whereas Euro NCAP's pedestrian AEB must cover both pedestrians and cyclists. ✅ Secondly, NHTSA mandates that pedestrian AEB must function at night. ✅ Thirdly, there are differences in operational conditions: - NHTSA requires #VehicleAEB to operate at speeds of 90 miles per hour or below, with the mandate to avoid collisions at speeds of 62 miles per hour or less with another vehicle. For pedestrian AEB, the requirement is 45 miles per hour or below, even if the pedestrian AEB system cannot entirely prevent accidents. - Euro NCAP demands that vehicle AEB operates fully to prevent collisions at speeds of up to 30 kilometers per hour, and at least halves collision speed at speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour. Euro NCAP's pedestrian AEB requirement necessitates complete avoidance of pedestrian collisions at speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour and avoidance of cyclist collisions at speeds of up to 30 kilometers per hour. #NHTSA #FMVSS #AEB #PedestrianAEB #NightCondition #RoadSafety #EuroNCAP #LifeSavingTechnologies
