Federal safety regulators have opened an investigation into Fisker’s first electric vehicle over braking problems. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) issued a notice that it’s probing Fisker’s Ocean SUV for loss of braking performance. The agency is focusing on nine complaints about the issue thus far, including one incident involving a crash and an unspecified injury. A Fisker spokesperson declined to comment. The probe comes as…

Warning and support in the event of acute accident risk Mercedes-Benz introduced the first Brake Assist System (BAS) back in 1996. In 2005, radar technology was used to enhance the brake assist system by making it anticipatory.With more than 40 active assistance systems currently available, Mercedes-Benz is making a decisive contribution to increasing the safety of all road users. In particular, Active Brake Assist with pedestrian detection has been helping reduce…

The government will require heavy trucks and buses to include automatic emergency braking equipment within five years, the federal traffic safety agency said Thursday, estimating it will prevent nearly 20,000 crashes and save at least 155 lives a year.The announcement by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration follows a similar move last month for all new passenger cars and light trucks. The actions represent the traffic safety agency’s latest efforts to regulate electronic systems that take on certain tasks…

Determined to lead the charge toward zero-emissions freight and urban logistics, British electric truck maker Tevva has been working to ease the burden of carbon reductions on fleet operators. In January, it began production of its battery-powered medium-duty electric truck, for which it also plans to offer a hydrogen fuel cell range extender. For now, it's extending range a simpler way, improving its regenerative braking system so that it's four times more efficient than it was previously. Tevva worked with German Tier 1…

The auto safety agency projects the rule would save at least 360 lives and reduce injuries by at least 24,000 annually.The Biden administration on Wednesday proposed requiring automatic emergency braking (AEB) on all new passenger cars and light trucks and set new performance requirements, one of the most significant safety regulations proposed in recent years.The new requirements proposed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) would require most…

GM announced today that it’s making five active safety features standard on all its 2023 and newer EVs. In addition, the automaker says it will surpass its commitment to add Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) to 95 percent of its vehicles; the feature is included in 98 percent of GM’s 2023 models — including all its EVs. The disclosure follows the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stating today that all new passenger cars and light trucks will be required to include AEB within three years. In…

Tesla's latest large-scale recall effectively covers its entire output for one nation. China's market regulator has ordered a recall of over 1.1 million Tesla cars, or nearly all the vehicles it has sold in the country, over a reported flaw in the regenerative braking system. As drivers can't set the intensity of regenerative braking or receive alerts with a sustained press of the accelerator, officials believe there's a risk owners might misuse the pedals (as they can't hear a revving engine) and crash. The EV maker will…

Tesla is releasing a new software update that brings back regenerative braking options for its electric cars. Tesla previously allowed drivers to adjust the strength of the regenerative braking, which is one of the coolest features of electric vehicles. Instead of using a traditional braking system, an EV’s electric motor can reverse power to slow down the vehicle, all the while recuperating the energy in deceleration. This feature can even enable one-pedal driving since, other than in…
