NHTSA to recommend automatic emergency braking system technology for new vehicles
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it will add two cutting-edge automatic emergency braking systems to the recommended advanced safety features included under its New Car Assessment Program (NCAP).
The additions of crash imminent braking (CIB) and dynamic brake support (DBS) is the latest in what the NHTSA says is a long history of safety innovations, which is covered in a new report that uses data from the agency's Fatal Accident Reporting System to create a statistical model that estimated safety technologies have saved 613,501 lives since 1960.
