  A Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard that's taking effect in 2029 requiring auto manufacturers to meet stronger emergency braking system requirements, is being challenged by the Alliance of Automotive Innovation.

The article from HotHardware discusses a lawsuit filed by the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, representing major automakers like General Motors, Toyota, and Volkswagen, against the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The lawsuit challenges the DOT's new rule mandating that all new passenger vehicles must include automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems by September 2029. The automakers argue that the rule's requirements are technologically unfeasible within the given timeline, particularly the stipulation that AEB systems must be capable of stopping vehicles to avoid collisions at speeds up to 62 mph and detect pedestrians in various lighting conditions. They claim that the technology to meet these standards does not yet exist or is not sufficiently reliable, potentially leading to unintended consequences like false braking. The lawsuit seeks to delay or modify these regulations to allow more time for technological development and testing.
