Despite Google experiments with its automatic Car and the various tests, even on the road, led by various car manufacturers, the car reached the finish without driver will most likely small steps, all on the path of road safety.
The next, certainly very significant, it is the agreement that 20 car manufacturers have made with the US Department of Transportation because by 2022 all new cars series incorporate an automatic emergency braking system.
Audi, BMW, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA are the producers they have entered into the agreement.
For some time an automatic emergency braking system is included on some models of some car manufacturers, but not like this feature as standard. The joint initiative aims precisely to ensure that within a few years this security feature is present on all new vehicles, as happens now with technologies that we now discounted such as ABS.
The automatic braking systems are based on the crossing of more information from various sensors on the vehicle to determine speed of travel, distance from any vehicle ahead or to detect the presence of an object on the trajectory. If the intersection of information offers a reasonable probability of collision, along with a too slow reaction by the driver, the system acts on the braking system of the vehicle to minimize as much as possible (and avoid, in most cases) an accident.
Under the agreement, all new vehicles with a mass up to 8500 pounds (about 3860 kg) will be equipped with an automatic braking system effective September 1, 2022. For vehicles from 8500 to 1000 pounds obligation triggered three years later, September 1, 2025.
The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes that this agreement allows to speed up the process at least three years compared to a normal regulatory process by the single administration. This will allow, according to statistics, to avoid approximately 28,000 accidents and reduce rear-end collisions by 40%.
As for Europe, since 2012 came into force the rule that designates it as necessary to the automatic emergency braking system for those cars who want to bear the 5 star EuroNCAP (the European Organisation for the vehicle safety rating) though still there is no obligation to make the technology as standard on new vehicles. The automatic emergency braking is mandatory in Europe from 2015 only for new heavy-duty vehicles.
