The studies released this week, one by a government-auto industry partnership and the other by the insurance industry, each used crash data to make the calculations. Automatic emergency braking can stop vehicles if a crash is imminent, or slow them to reduce the severity.
Some automakers are moving toward a voluntary commitment by 20 companies to make the braking technology standard equipment on 95% of their light-duty models during the current model year that ends next August.
A study by The Partnership for Analytics Research in Traffic Safety compared data on auto equipment with 12 million policereported crashes from 13 states that was collected by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the partnership said in a statement. The group studied forward collision warning as well as emergency braking.
