Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) is becoming more common in new cars. According to GM, at least 95% of their vehicles, including 2023 models and newer EVs, come standard with AEB technology.

According to a Ford representative, AB with pedestrian detection is standard on 96% of Ford cars, trucks, and SUVs.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends that all new passenger automobiles and light trucks in the United States include AB with pedestrian detection by 2028.
AEB, like other cutting-edge driver-assistance systems, goes by several names. They all work the same way, regardless of the name. If a collision is imminent, a vehicle’s sensor and software package automatically apply the brakes.
According to the new NHTSA rule, all AEB systems must detect vehicles and pedestrians. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is “actively conducting research” on how well AEB systems respond to bicycles and motorcycles.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) issued its first National Roadway Safety Strategy in January 2022 in response to an increase in transportation-related deaths and serious injuries as a result of accidents.
The DOT spoke out in favor of standardizing Autonomous Brakes to make roads safer. For years, the NHTSA has advocated for more Autonomous Brakes systems in automobiles to address “serious safety problems.” However, the service is still in its early stages and is not completely reliable in all vehicles.
