WASHINGTON — Some advanced driver-assist features are present in more than 90% of new vehicles, according to a new report released as part of a partnership between automotive manufacturers and NHTSA.
The report, published Oct. 2 by the Partnership for Analytics Research in Traffic Safety (PARTS), found that five ADAS features — forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning — are each in more than 90% of 2023 model-year vehicles.
Automatic emergency braking, for example, is present in 94% of 2023 model year vehicles, surging from 4%in 2015. Many auto makers made voluntary commitments to offer automatic emergency braking in new passenger vehicles starting in 2022.
Forward collision warning was also in 94% of vehicles, up from 12.8% in 2015.
The report is based on data from roughly 98 million passenger vehicles in the U.S., comprising about 80% of the U.S. passenger vehicle market. Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co. American Honda Motor Co. Hyundai Motor North America, Mazda North American Operations, Mitsubishi Motors R&D of America, Stellantis N.V., Subaru Corp. and Toyota Motor North America provided data for 2023 model year vehicles through July 31, 2023.
