Emergency Braking Will Save Lives. Automakers Want to Charge Extra for It

75% Informative
Automakers want to repeal a rule that would make automated emergency braking standard equipment in all cars.
Automakers say the rule will be almost impossible to implement.
Road safety experts say this is patently false and accuse car companies of balking at the cost of fitting upgraded braking kit as standard, despite the lifesaving potential.
Under FMVSS 127 , cars and light trucks will be required to be able to “stop and avoid contact” with other motor vehicles at speeds of up to 62 mph .
AEB systems must also apply the brakes automatically “up to 90 mph when a collision with a lead vehicle is imminent, and up to 45 mph .
Vehicle sensors must also detect pedestrians in both daylight and darkness.
The Alliance’s Bozzella has called FMVSS 127 a “disastrous” rule that “will endlessly—and unnecessarily—frustrate drivers [and] make vehicles more expensive” The more stringent standard, tougher even than the equivalent one in EU , “won’t really improve driver or pedestrian safety ”.
