Road to ruin: why autonomous cars will probably kill pedestrians
- Thursday | 10th October, 2019
Obviously, a key component of autonomous car safety is the car’s ability to detect obstacles in the road and avoid them – all within seconds, in real time, regardless of road or weather conditions. Many cars also come with automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems that (as the name implies) enable the car to hit the brakes in such situations. For the most part, stats show AEB systems work reasonably well when it comes to avoiding or minimizing the impact of car collisions.

AEB systems alone are marketed under 40 unique names, according to NPR, and the name doesn’t always describe clearly their actual capability.
