DETROIT Safety features such as automatic emergency braking and forward collision warnings could prevent more than 40% of crashes in which semis rear-end other vehicles, a new study has found. This is an important countermeasure to that.Trucks with collision warning systems reduced rear crashes by 44%, while automatic emergency braking cut rear crashes by 41%, the study found. For automatic emergency braking, the figure was 12%. In October of 2015, NHTSA began the regulatory process to evaluate forward collision warning and automatic braking for heavy trucks. Some just warn the driver of hazards, while more sophisticated emergency braking systems will actually brake the truck.
