AAA tested automatic emergency braking systems in common two-car collision situations that are not targeted by those systems. The results are mixed.
. Though actual availability may be low due to chip supply issues. The IIHS also announced earlier this year that it's looking at increasing its AEB testing speeds. So odds are that performance in this area, while not terrible, will probably improve significantly in the near future.
While the results for rear-end collisions isn't too bad, the other types of collisions are a problem area for the current AEB systems. With cross-traffic T-bone collisions, and situations with another car turning in front of a driver, all vehicles hit every time. And in every test, each car failed to alert the driver or activate the brakes.
This is somewhat understandable, as most of these systems are only designed to help prevent rear-end collisions. Only recently have these systems started implementing pedestrian and cyclist detection, and the ability to detect cars or pedestrians in the path of the car when making turns at intersections. It's also likely that these situations are more difficult to program the car to recognize and to do so without triggering false positives.
That being said, as these types of crashes are responsible for most injuries, it's clear that automakers should focus on offering systems that can prevent those crashes.
