The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced new regulations.

The new rules will require improved automating emergency braking, AEB, systems on all new cars sold in the U.S. by september 2029.

The current vehicles with AEB use sensors to detect when a vehicle ahead has slowed or stopped or if an obstacle is in the road. If the driver fails to respond in time, the system applies brakes automatically.

The new regulations will require AEB systems that can help prevent collisions with other cars at speeds up to 62 mph. It will also require the car to stop before hitting pedestrians from speeds as high as 45 mph. The system also requires to apply brakes at speeds up to 90 mph, even if it it can’t entirely prevent a crash.

With distracted driving and pedestrian fatalities on the rise, regulators believe technology can prevent hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries each year.
