General Motors vehicles fitted with autobrake and forward collision warning had 43% fewer police-reported front-to-rear collisions than the same car without the technology, according to a study by the US Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). An earlier study by IIHS of Acura, Fiat Chrysler, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Subaru and Volvo vehicles reported a 99% reduction. Twenty car manufacturers covering 50% of the US car market will make automatic emergency braking standard on almost all new vehicles by September 2022.
