Part 4/9:
On another front, a group representing major U.S. automakers has challenged recent National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regulations. In April, NHTSA mandated that all new cars and trucks must incorporate advanced automatic emergency braking systems by 2029. This technology aims to avert accidents at speeds up to 62 miles per hour, with projected outcomes of saving 360 lives and preventing 24,000 injuries each year.
The Alliance for Automotive Innovation refuted the mandate, asserting that compliance with the regulation is nearly impossible given existing technology. As a result, they have filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn this rule.
