The rule will require automakers to install the technology in all new light-duty vehicles by 2029, a move applauded by traffic safety groups.
The U.S. Department of Transportation has decided not to alter its proposed rule on automatic emergency braking systems for new vehicles, despite requests from the auto industry for more lenient standards. The rule, set to be implemented by September 2029, mandates that all new cars and light trucks must include automatic emergency braking systems capable of stopping to avoid a collision at speeds up to 62 mph and detecting pedestrians in both daylight and darkness.
