  • As NHTSA reconsiders a Biden era ruling to mandate automatic emergency braking by 2029, a new study shows steady improvement in the safety technology.

The article from Forbes, published on January 27, 2025, discusses a study revealing that Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) systems are significantly improving road safety by reducing rear-end collisions and pedestrian accidents. Despite these advancements, former President Donald Trump, who has returned to office, is reportedly looking to eliminate the mandate for AEB systems in new vehicles. This mandate, initially set to be implemented by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), aimed to make AEB standard in all new cars to enhance safety. Critics argue that Trump's move could be influenced by his administration's deregulatory stance and possibly by lobbying from the automotive industry, which might see the mandate as an unnecessary cost. The article highlights the tension between technological advancements in vehicle safety and political decisions that could potentially reverse these safety gains.
