The standard fitment of autonomous emergency braking (AEB) has increased rapidly – rising from 18 percent to 54 percent in just two years, according to Australasia’s independent authority on vehicle safety, ANCAP SAFETY.
In the past month alone, over 40,000 new vehicles entered the fleet with this collision avoidance technology, and 60 of the top 100 selling models now offer AEB as standard equipment.
“This is a significant milestone for the industry and the marketplace, with supply and demand working together to provide positive safety outcomes,” said ANCAP Chief Executive, James Goodwin.
“A key role for ANCAP is to educate the community on the benefits of AEB, and in parallel, encourage vehicle brands to include it as standard across model ranges and price points.”
