NTSB: Collision avoidance systems should be standard on all commercial, passenger vehicles

摘要

Washington-The National Transportation Safety Board is calling for collision avoidance systems to be standard in all new passenger and commercial vehicles. NTSB states in a June 8 special investigation report that the systems can help reduce injuries and deaths by preventing rear-end crashes. The agency recommends that manufacturers implement collision warning systems and then add autonomous emergency braking after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration implements braking performance standards. NTSB also recommends that NHTSA create tests and standards to evaluate the systems' performance and include the ratings in an expanded safety rating scale.
