The title is a tiny bit misleading. Here are the stats from the article:
Automatic braking has demonstrated the ability to:
- reduce rear-end automobile crashes "in half" (technically 49%)
- reduce Rear-end crashes with injuries by 53%
- vehicles without automatic braking, but with collision warnings only cut accidents by 16% (compared to 49% with automatic braking)
- pickup trucks are less effective at preventing crashes, only preventing 43% of accidents and reducing injuries by 42% (compared to above numbers for other vehicles)
- lane departure systems reduce crashes by 8% and reduce injuries by 7%
- A consortium of 20 auto manufactures have voluntarily committed to offering automatic braking technology to 95% of their light-duty models during the 2023 model year
