But Buttigieg said it will save 362 lives per year ...

This, in a nation that has had 40,000+ motor vehicle fatalities in each of the last three years.

You're seeing what happens in a nation that is run by retarded people.

This shouldn't be a government mandate. The free market can handle it just fine.

That said, AEB is one of the great advances in automotive safety, on the same scale as seat belts and then airbags. It turns fatal accidents into serious ones, serious ones into minor ones, and minor ones into near-misses. I would strongly suggest everyone look into it. (I spent my career as a quality engineer in the automotive safety area.)

Oh my … I didn’t need it, but thanks for yet another reason to keep my car and my old Tacoma forever. They both are reliable, run great and look good, too! Oh, what a feeling!

Simple fix:
Require all cars to be fitted with speed limit governors set to 15 miles an hour, add 5-point aircraft style seat belts/restraints, and supply 50 mile an hour steel bumpers on all sides of the car, Further, require all existing cars be RETROFITTED up to the current safety codes within one year.
PRESTO! Near-zero fatalities on the road!

(Of COURSE, you could never actually DO this!!)

I’m looking for rear bumper enhancements.

Like a Brazilian Butt Enhancement for a car.

Soon, only the wealthy elite will own cars.

The rest of us peasants will have to walk or ride bicycles.

So if I speed up a bit to pass someone and that person happens to slow down a bit as I do so, and the cars get a little to close for comfort when I’m about 90% over, the car will slam on the breaks and get me rear-ended from the person I’m now in front of.

Great!

Let’s ask Petey if they will prevent rear-ending.

Auto braking is terrible. Hate it, had in a rental car or two.

while it may be a great thing, it is exactly these sort of mandates that continue to drive up the cost of a new car.

Maybe this will end up like the Democrats push for EV mandate ... a big flop like the rest of this administration’s success stories
