Rule/Notice/NOFO: FMVSS: Automatic Emergency Braking System for Light Duty Vehicles (NPRM)
Federal Register/Notice: Govinfo.gov
Type of Requirement: NPRM
Description: This NPRM proposes to adopt a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard to require automatic emergency braking (AEB), including pedestrian AEB (PAEB), systems on light vehicles. An AEB system uses various sensor technologies and subsystems that work together to detect when the vehicle is in a crash imminent situation, to automatically apply the vehicle brakes if the driver has not done so, or to apply more braking force to supplement the driver’s braking. The AEB system proposed in this NPRM would detect and react to an imminent crash with a lead vehicle or pedestrian.
