Vic: TAC Launches Auto Emergency Braking Awareness Campaign

Victoria’s Transport Accident Commission (TAC) has turned its attention to Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) in its latest road safety campaign.

The TAC says of all collisions resulting in injury in Victoria, rear-end collisions account for around 16 percent; a statistic that could almost be eradicated if all cars had AEB.

Using forward-facing cameras, sensors and radars, AEB can apply the brakes autonomously if the driver fails to notice a vehicle slowing in front of them (see video).
