Ten major automakers Standardize Their automatic braking technology on their vehicles -

Audi, BMW, Ford, General Motors, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo have agreed make the automatic braking system to be able to predict a potential collision and prevent it from happening or at least minimize the impact of the accident a standard requirement on all vehicles they produce. The automatic braking system is expected to use radar, laser or cameras to make the prediction. Apparently the functionality already exists, but mostly in luxury cars or premium models.

The news was announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the United States and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) last month. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is actually an auto safety group by the insurance industry. The agencies are working with auto manufacturers to come out with a calendar on the standardization process.

Adrian Lund, IIHS president said that most accidents involved driver error and that the technology could compensate for errors every driver is because the systems were always on alert, monitoring the road and never get tired or distracted.

It seems that technology is more effective in preventing rear collisions in 2012 is reported to cause 1,700 deaths and 500,000 injuries based on government statistics. Therefore, National Transportation Safety Board suggested that the automatic braking systems should be made standard on all new cars and thus the above announcement was made.
