The tech exists, and vehicles on the road already have it, yet a consortium of carmakers doesn’t want to make this lifesaving equipment standard. The reason is as old as the hills—money.

First they stop your car for safety, then they accelarate you in front of a semi cause it “glitched”. Mark my words.
Soon enough, you’ll have to swipe a credit card to engage your brakes.
> 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.
So, there is an actual problem with that requirement. That being – PEOPLE ARE DRIVING TOO CLOSE!!
I have 2024 car, with all such systems, and I am confident it will stop from 100kmh AS LONG as I will drive in proper distance from car in front of me(by engaging another system :D).
If I „manually“ drive closer, no system would be able to stop car in time.
My new Hyundai has a version of this and I really appreciate it. The early warning alarm has prevented a couple of close calls, I’ve never had the brakes engage though as I managed to slow myself.
That all being said, what extra feature in a car doesn’t add to the cost? I know it was baked into the price when I bought it.
Late stage capitalism at its finest. I thought drug dealers were the ones that killed their customers. /s
Why would they add brakes at all? The more accidents the more cars sold.
They’ll charge for it while making it a law that you must have it. Welcome to the oligarchy.
For each emergency brake it’s 50€. If you get the 5 years package the first 10 brakes are free.
I think they need to still fix the major issues with these systems before mandating them.
No, that overpass I’m going under is not a car I’m about to smash into. Thanks a ton for slamming on the brakes in inclement weather and causing a multi car pileup.
