Every New Car in America Will Have Automatic Emergency Braking by 2029
The Biden Administration has finalized a rule that mandates automatic emergency braking in all new vehicles by 2029. The compulsory rule will replace a voluntary agreement carmakers signed onto in 2016, which led to emergency braking systems becoming widely available on many new cars as part of their ADAS systems. According to the Department of Transportation, this agreement didn't go far enough to make emergency braking standard across all new vehicles, regardless of trim level or options for a given make and model.
