We can significantly reduce the number, and severity, of accidents like this with advanced AEB (autonomous emergency braking) systems. It's much easier to implement AEB which can respond to lane departure, pedestrians in the vehicle's path, etc than to go all the way to fully autonomous driving, which remains an unsolved AI challenge. In Europe, AEB is mandatory on all new vehicles receiving type approval from 2020. In the US, it will be implemented on all new private vehicles from 2022.
