> The group found front-to-rear crashes were cut 49% when the striking vehicle had forward collision alert plus automatic braking, when compared with vehicles that didn’t have either system. I wonder about front-to-rear crashes when the struck vehicle has automatic braking when the rear one doesn't. I worry about people with automatic braking not paying attention and being on their phone and letting the automatic braking keep them from hitting people in front of them, while coming to abrupt stops and getting hit more from behind.
