Automatic braking pact for 2022 will alter systems development

Vehicle OEMs have pledged to make automatic emergency braking (AEB) a standard feature by 2022, a move that is likely to alter electronic architectures and increase collaboration between module suppliers.

Twenty automakers recently teamed up with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Admin. and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety to set voluntary programs to move emergency braking from a luxury option to mainstream vehicles over the next few years.
