Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection is really effective at saving lives and reducing injuries — except at night, a IIHS_autosafety study finds. Some vehicles did better than others:
Automatic emergency braking has been around for a while now, and it has quietly become more advanced with systems adding pedestrian detection. In fact, according to IIHS, which conducted the study we're about to discuss, from 2019 to the 2021 model year, availability of pedestrian AEB has increased from 3 out of every 5 vehicle models sold to 9 in 10.
Now for the bad news. IIHS discovered the systems didn't make a difference in reducing pedestrian collisions at night in poorly lit or unlit conditions. That's not good, since the organization also notes that 75% of fatal pedestrian crashes happen in those exact situations. The IIHS also tested out eight small SUVs in daylight, artificially-lit and dark situations. Most of the vehicles had much worse performance in the dark, not reducing speed as much as they would with good visibility.
