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). The IIHS said that in its first year of testing on GM vehicles, it found no evidence that Autosteer was causing more rear-end collisions. Twenty car manufacturers covering 99% of the US car market will make automatic emergency braking standard on almost all new vehicles by September 2022.
