The new IIHS test is performed at higher speeds and includes stopped motorcycles and semi-trailers The AEB system in the Chevrolet Equinox had trouble identifying a motorcycle, and struck it.

Automatic Emergency Braking is technology designed to prevent crashes and save lives. The system now comes standard in most ...

New IIHS tests show that many of today’s new cars have AEB that can prevent higher-speed crashes, but there’s still room for improvement.

AEB systems are developed to an ever-evolving industry standard set of test scenarios,' he told us. 'Many implementation challenges exist including balancing true activations with false positives. ' ...

and we will closely analyse the results of IIHS’s recent non-standard pedestrian AEB testing in an effort to enhance future model performance." ...

Despite their danger, crashes with semi-trailers have traditionally been difficult for AEB systems to detect. Photo: IIHS The IIHS has been testing AEB since 2013, but the organization implemented ...

We observed crash tests at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's proving grounds and witnessed AEB systems failing to detect pedestrians in the dark multiple times. "We need a minimum ...
