Emergency self-braking technology is on the way to every new car sold in Australia, Japan and Europe

AutoExec Summary
Life-saving pedestrian detection and automatic braking technology will soon become mandatory for all new cars and utes in Australia. Following a draft UN regulation, vehicles must detect hazards and automatically brake to prevent collisions. This regulation, endorsed by ANCAP, aims to reduce the road toll, especially among vulnerable road users. Notably, the Toyota HiLux will require safety upgrades. While AEB technology varies among manufacturers, the new standards will ensure all vehicles meet strict performance criteria.
