Not sure if the WSJ article covers this (paywall), but the rule also forbids “vehicles to be equipped with a manual control whose sole function is the deactivation of the AEB system.”

I know on a population-wide level these technologies probably make a appreciable difference and save lives, but having experienced several “false” activations while exiting the highway into the sun, I don’t think I can ever trust the technology for my own use.
- teeray 2y agoUgh, this also probably means it will throw a code if you try to thwart it by disabling the sensors.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoI would always expect a prominent code when any safety sensor fails.
- Overtonwindow 2y agoNow I want to manually override it!!
- toast0 2y ago> the rule also forbids “vehicles to be equipped with a manual control whose sole function is the deactivation of the AEB system.” That seems unreasonable. It's nice to have a button to turn off these kinds of things, individually. But as written, that seems to be against separate buttons to turn off aeb and lane keeping, but you could have one button to turn off both. I'd rather have more buttons. My experience with AEB has been good, but other people report issues, better for them to easily be able to turn it off if it doesn't work for them, IMHO. Unless NHTSA is going to require debugging and tuning and etc to be easily accessible and magically fast.
