“This is a much welcome development. The decision to make AEB and PAEB mandatory is a significant acknowledgment that increased automation will make cars safer, “ says Veronika Nihlén, Zenseact's Head of Communications. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA) has decided that automatic emergency braking (AEB) and pedestrian AEB (PAEB) will be mandatory on US roads. The rule creates a new safety standard, stating that all new passenger cars and light-duty trucks must have AEB and PAEB as standard equipment starting from September 1, 2029. Under the new rules, all cars must be able to stop automatically to avoid hitting a vehicle ahead at speeds up to 62 miles per hour/100 kilometers per hour and must also detect pedestrians – even in darkness. The car's brakes will automatically engage at speeds up to 90 mph/145 kph if a crash with a car in front is likely, and up to 45 mph if a pedestrian is detected. According to NHTSA, the new standard will “save at least 360 lives a year and prevent at least 24,000 injuries annually.” Read the press release here: https://lnkd.in/edJNcTMV #towardszerofaster #carsafety #automation #NHTSA

Driving a car is the most dangerous thing most people do every day. Auto-brake capabilities in cars have significantly enhanced road safety by aiming to eliminate distractions, the number 1 reason for accidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is leveraging technology to advance safety initiatives. How do you feel about the advancements in auto-brake technology? Are you a fan of it, or do you air to the side of caution? Learn more in this article: [Link to the article] #RoadSafety #AutoBrake #NHTSA #Technology #SafetyEfforts

#SafetyAlert NHTSA Finalizes Key Safety Rule to Reduce Crashes and Save Lives Starting in 2029, vehicle manufacturers must make automatic emergency braking, which reduces vehicle and pedestrian crashes, standard in cars and light trucks https://lnkd.in/dBw8hseA

The NHTSA finalized a Safety Standard to make Automatic Emergency Braking standard on all passenger cars and light trucks by September 2029. A similar rule is in process to require AEB on heavy-duty trucks.

🚗💡New NHTSA Rule Set to Reduce Rear-End Collision Rates 🛑👥 A new NHTSA rule requires Automatic Emergency Braking systems in all new passenger cars and light trucks by 2029. This crucial regulation is set to dramatically reduce rear-end collisions, saving at least 360 lives and preventing over 24,000 injuries each year. This new safety standard means advanced, life-saving technology will soon be standard in vehicles at all price points, not just high-end models. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gWYer6ig #RoadSafety #VehicleSafety #AEB #NHTSA #CDLAW #PersonalInjuryLaw #InnovationInSafety #LegalNews #TrafficSafety #SaveLives

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has just announced a groundbreaking rule mandating automatic emergency braking (AEB) in all passenger vehicles by 2029. But there's a catch: current technology falls short of meeting the rigorous standards set by the NHTSA. Can automakers rise to the challenge within the five-year window?

Hot off the press 📣 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 passenger cars and light trucks by September 2029. NHTSA projects that this new standard will save at least 360 lives a year and prevent at least 24,000 road injuries annually. As part of the larger #ADAS ecosystem, AEB uses sensors to detect the vehicle’s environment and either warn the driver or, if needed, automatically apply the brakes to avert a crash. This is where automotive semiconductor solutions, such as indie’s radar and computer vision products, will play a vital role in advanced driver assist features and help significantly reduce rear-end crashes and road user injuries and fatalities.

Consumer Reports Petition encouraged new standards for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) whereby newly made vehicles, required them to come with Automatic Emergency Braking AEB technology which will brake on its own before a perceived impact. "According to the new standard, vehicles must be able to avoid a crash at speeds of up to 62 mph and brake at speeds of up to 90 mph when a crash is imminent. It also requires vehicles to avoid a crash with a pedestrian at speeds of up to 45 mph, including in darkness." #technology #cars #NHTSA #ConsumerReports #carule https://lnkd.in/eJBviTqe

Nissan issued a "Do Not Drive" warning Wednesday for roughly 84,000 older vehicles that have recalled and un-repaired Takata air bags, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said. Why it matters: The warning is for certain 2002-2006 Nissan Sentra, 2002-2004 Nissan Pathfinder and 2002-2003 Infiniti QX4 vehicles that have open Takata air bag recalls. The recalls were issued in 2020 and are tied to the massive recall that affected tens of millions of vehicles. The big picture: Approximately 67 million Takata air bags have been recalled because they can "explode when deployed, causing serious injury or even death," NHTSA said. Twenty-seven people in the U.S. have been killed by a defective Takata air bag that exploded and 400 people have been injured, per NHTSA. Several other vehicles from different automakers also have "Do Not Drive" warnings, according to NHTSA. https://lnkd.in/gneSJb3E
