US Government Proposes Mandating Automatic Braking in New Cars
TL;DR Summary
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has proposed new rules that would require new cars to be equipped with automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection. The proposed rule would require improvements to most systems that are available today, including preventing crashes at speeds of up to 50 miles an hour, or 62 mph with some braking being applied by the driver. NHTSA has projected that, if the new rules are finalized, they could prevent about 360 deaths annually and prevent 24,000 injuries.
