As NHTSA reconsiders a Biden era ruling to mandate automatic emergency braking by 2029, a new study shows steady improvement in the safety technology.

A rule requiring automatic emergency braking technology on all new cars is not currently scheduled to take effect until 2029.

The NHTSA postponed the effective date of its mandate for USDM cars to have automatic emergency braking by 2029, giving the Trump admin time to reconsider it.

A new rule requiring all vehicles to have automatic emergency braking is “flawed” and should be repealed, a new lawsuit filed by the auto industry’s main lobbying group says. The suit was filed in US Court of Appeals for the D.

A U.S. auto safety agency said on Friday it is reconsidering a landmark rule from the administration of former President Joe Biden requiring nearly all new cars and trucks by 2029 to have advanced automatic emergency braking systems.

The Biden administration would like for car manufacturers to equip their vehicles with new and improved emergency braking systems that could reduce accidents and save lives. Car manufacturers would rather not. So a lobbying group representing the biggest names in automotives is suing to stop the new rule from taking effect.

The Trump administration will review a rule adopted under President Joe Biden that would require carmakers to install automatic emergency braking systems on new vehicles that the industry has criticized as impractical.
