The Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) is a vehicle safety system that uses sensors to detect and potentially save you from collisions. Upon detection, the system automatically applies the brakes to prevent, or lessen the damage of, such impacts.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in the U.S. released a 2016 study that shows AEB could reduce the number of collisions by up to 40%. More importantly, another study found that AEB can reduce insurance injury claims by as much as 35%.
Automobile technology is constantly evolving, helping to make our roads safer. Advanced safety technologies are fast becoming standard features in many vehicles. So, when you are looking for your next car, look for a model with AEB to keep you safe. Depending on your model and insurance carrier you may be eligible to save up to 15% with a discount on your car insurance!
