There is a lot of concern about incorrect actuations in this thread.
One way to address this is to dictate that the car AEB status prior to each accident was made known to everyone involved, and to hold the manufacturer directly liable whenever AEB contributed to a collision.
After making that change, they could circulate the draft bill, and let the car manufacturer lobbyists kill it.
- AlexandrB 3y agoLove the path this comment took.
- autoexec 3y agoI was probably lobbyists driving the push to make them mandatory in the first place
- sebzim4500 3y agoI don't think that car manufacturers should be held responsible just because AEB contributed to a collision. It isn't that rare for safety features to do harm in specific circumstances, for example seatbelts can prevent people leaving the car in a hurry and airbags can sometimes kill people when they activate. The question is whether the feature is a net positive, not whether it is a positive in literally every potential collision.
