The auto industry wants to delay the government’s new rule requiring vehicles to include automatic emergency braking systems that apply the brakes at speeds up to 92mph.

The auto industry’s main lobbying group is requesting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration “reconsider” its recent rule requiring all vehicles sold in the US to have robust automatic emergency braking , calling the current technology insufficient to meet the high standards outlined by the government.

” Vehicles must also be able to detect pedestrians in both daylight and darkness. The only problem, according to Bozzella, is that practically no car on the road today can meet those standards. He notes that NHTSA’s own testing data revealed that only one vehicle met the stopping distance requirements in the final rule.
