Automatic Emergency Braking Becomes Standard in Latest US Vehicles
TL;DR Summary
General Motors (GM) has announced that it will make five active safety features standard on all its 2023 and newer EVs, including Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), which is included in 98% of GM's 2023 models, surpassing its commitment to add AEB to 95% of its vehicles. The automaker cites safety research data from the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) to inform the decision, which showed that AEB combined with Forward Collision Alert reduced rear-end crashes by 42%. GM is also upgrading the front sensors in some of its gas-powered vehicles to include AEB and other safety features.
