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.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -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 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.

A new rule requiring all vehicles to have automatic emergency braking is “flawed” and should be repealed, a new lawsuit filed by the auto industry’s main lobbying group says.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 lobbying group representing several automakers sued the Department of Transportation over a rule they deemed "flawed."

The group says it's "practically impossible" to meet a rule that cars can stop and avoid contact with a vehicle in front of them at up to 62 mph.
