Automakers fulfill automatic emergency braking pledge for light-duty vehicles in the US

Automakers have made this safety feature standard equipment years before there was a legal mandate requiring them to do so

The US non-profit group Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has announced that all 20 participating automakers have fulfilled a voluntary pledge to equip at least 95% of all the light vehicles they produce for the US market with automatic emergency braking (AEB), according to a press release dated Dec. 21.
