Nissan to Make Automated Emergency Braking Standard on Most 2018 Models
Most of Nissan‘s 2018 model year vehicles sold in the United States will have automated emergency braking as a standard feature, the automaker announced Thursday. It said about a million of the company’s cars and trucks will have the advanced safety technology, up from its current count of about 450,000 vehicles for 2017. Based on Nissan’s 2016 U.S. sales of 1,564,423 units, it means about two-thirds of Nissan’s U.S.-market vehicles will have the feature.
The system uses radar and sensors to detect whether a frontal crash is imminent, and applies the vehicle’s brakes automatically if the driver fails to do so. For the 2018 model year, it will be standard on Nissan’s Altima, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, Pathfinder, Rogue/Rogue Sport, and Sentra. Manual-transmission and NISMO models are excluded, as are select Armada models.
In March 2016, 20 automakers made a commitment with federal regulators to make automated emergency braking a standard feature on U.S. vehicles by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s 2022 reporting year, which begins on Sept. 1, 2022. The 20 automakers collectively represent more than 99 percent of the U.S. market.
