In the coming years, those or other systems of forced braking in emergencies can become an indispensable element of a new car. As said in a statement to the press, United States, Transport Minister Anthony Fox, only that this item was included in the list of recommended security tools under the Protocol by which the NCAP conducted American crash tests. The word recommended by the means that while manufacturers are not required to install such systems under penalty but without them top marks in the ratings will soon be unavailable.
Every third major ACCIDENT in the United States includes a rear-end collision, Fox explained the introduction of such a measure. -Reduce the threat of such a collision will help save several hundreds, if not thousands of lives annually. He added that a list of recommended equipment included two electronic Assistant (from different manufacturers they may be named differently, so market designations not listed): first slows down the machine when the front sensors indicate a dangerous reduction in the distance, while a second force stops it when the driver presses the brake itself.
NHTSA (one of the two u.s. organizations engaged in independent crash tests) is limited to the fact that the reports will indicate whether the tested model forced braking. IIHS already requires its availability to assign higher rankings Top Safety Pick. But before Europe by Euro NCAP far: Americans get the maximum 5 stars without such a system simply will not work. What do you think about this initiative, readers?
