National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA’s Post

This new rule will impact roadway safety in a positive way. While some people are not in favor stating a need for consumer choice, I believe this is a necessary step in the safety journey. Safety technology features should not be available only to consumers who are able to afford certain makes/models or certain trimlines but available to all vehicle owners. Not to mention the safety impact for pedestrians.

The secondary market implications of this are enormous. Thermal imaging has always been a niche application. With over 15M new consumer vehicles sold annually in the US, the economies of scale impact will enable new markets and applications that have been financially out of reach.

⚖️NHTSA finalizes new safety rule A new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard will make automatic emergency braking, including pedestrian AEB, standard on all passenger cars and light trucks by September 2029.  The National Roadway Safety Strategy adopts the safe system approach and builds multiple layers of protection with safer roads, safer people, safer vehicles, safer speeds, and better post-crash care. As part of the safe system approach, this new vehicle safety standard highlights safer vehicles and USDOT’s effort to expand vehicle systems and features to help prevent crashes.

#safetyfirstalways .'Walking should be safe. Speak up for stronger vehicle safety standards! Right now, America’s top traffic safety authority is debating whether new cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks need to have live-saving technology that detects pedestrians and applies the brakes before hitting someone.  This technology, Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking (PAEB), isn't new. It’s been around for years and government vehicle safety programs across the globe already include PAEB. The United States has fallen behind in vehicle safety and the number of pedestrians killed on our streets has risen 77% since 2010.' 'We think that vehicle safety standards that save the lives of people outside cars shouldn’t be optional. We also expect the auto industry will push back against making this live-saving technology standard on all vehicles.  We need your support to convince regulators at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to take a meaningful step toward reducing the number of pedestrians killed and injured on our streets by finalizing this important rule without delay.' https://p2a.co/EsOp2Wb

AEB Required in the US by 2029 NHTSA finalized rules requiring advanced automatic braking systems to be standard on new cars by 2029. This safety standard is expected to significantly reduce rear-end and pedestrian crashes. This final rule applies to nearly all U.S. light vehicles. https://bit.ly/4aXIIM7 Are you in need of #drivingrobots or assistance with conducting these essential tests?

https://cx.page/421eyo In an effort to address rising roadway injuries and fatalities, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has announced that all new cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks must come with effective automatic emergency braking (AEB) technology by 2029. It’s a move that Consumer Reports has been advocating for years and that NHTSA estimates will save at least 360 lives and prevent at least 24,000 injuries each year.

Nissan issued a "Do Not Drive" warning Wednesday for roughly 84,000 older vehicles that have recalled and un-repaired Takata air bags, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said. Why it matters: The warning is for certain 2002-2006 Nissan Sentra, 2002-2004 Nissan Pathfinder and 2002-2003 Infiniti QX4 vehicles that have open Takata air bag recalls. The recalls were issued in 2020 and are tied to the massive recall that affected tens of millions of vehicles. The big picture: Approximately 67 million Takata air bags have been recalled because they can "explode when deployed, causing serious injury or even death," NHTSA said. Twenty-seven people in the U.S. have been killed by a defective Takata air bag that exploded and 400 people have been injured, per NHTSA. Several other vehicles from different automakers also have "Do Not Drive" warnings, according to NHTSA. https://lnkd.in/gneSJb3E

Consumer Reports Petition encouraged new standards for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) whereby newly made vehicles, required them to come with Automatic Emergency Braking AEB technology which will brake on its own before a perceived impact. "According to the new standard, vehicles must be able to avoid a crash at speeds of up to 62 mph and brake at speeds of up to 90 mph when a crash is imminent. It also requires vehicles to avoid a crash with a pedestrian at speeds of up to 45 mph, including in darkness." #technology #cars #NHTSA #ConsumerReports #carule https://lnkd.in/eJBviTqe

Hot off the press 📣 The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA finalized a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard that will make automatic emergency braking (AEB), including pedestrian AEB, standard on all passenger cars and light trucks by September 2029. NHTSA projects that this new standard will save at least 360 lives a year and prevent at least 24,000 road injuries annually. As part of the larger #ADAS ecosystem, AEB uses sensors to detect the vehicle’s environment and either warn the driver or, if needed, automatically apply the brakes to avert a crash. This is where automotive semiconductor solutions, such as indie’s radar and computer vision products, will play a vital role in advanced driver assist features and help significantly reduce rear-end crashes and road user injuries and fatalities.
