“This is far from the first time automatic braking systems have come under scrutiny, with the Wall Street Journal noting that Honda, Fiat Chrysler, and General Motors vehicles have all been the subject of similar complaints. These complaints are relatively uncommon considering that around 630,000 vehicles sold in the US this year are thought to have automatic braking systems. This number, produced by market analysts Navigant Research and reported by the WSJ, is expected to rise to 10 million by the year 2020. The NHTSA also apparently has faith in the technology, and this year added automatic braking systems to its list of recommended safety features.”
