Automatic braking systems with backup cameras prevent backup accidents

Automatic braking systems

According to cbs17.com, a new solution proposed by the Highway Loss Data Institute involves the integration of automated braking systems with backup cameras. The solution automatically stops a vehicle if the backup camera and sensors detect that the vehicle is about to hit something. Safety advocates believe this integration of the two safety technologies will save lives and save car owners a lot of money in accident repairs and in personal injury lawsuits.

The federal government currently requires auto manufacturers to install backup cameras in all new cars and trucks. However, the Highway Loss Data Institute asserts that the two technologies must be combined for any significant positive impact on “backing up accidents.”

Matt Moore, president of the Highway Loss Data Institute, said most drivers tend to look around as they are backing up. Therefore having an automated braking system to stop the vehicle automatically makes great safety sense. Also, Mr. Moore pointed out that automated braking systems that slow or stop cars to avoid rear-end collisions have been a major success in reducing accidents. Mr. Moore also believes that rear automatic braking systems will be twice as effective as forward-facing systems.

Automatic rear braking systems join rearview cameras with rear radar sensors. The system is optimal for identifying pedestrians as well.

Right now, automatic rear braking systems are still not standard safety equipment, meaning if you would like to have an automatic rear braking system, you would need to pay extra for the optional safety technology.

The Highway Loss Data Institute estimates claims from reverse collision accidents in 2001 to 2017 caused over $8 billion in damage.

Christina Morace was not only an an amazing expert in helping us navigate thru the required paperwork for the VCF 9/11 Fund claim, she was also so wonderful in helping us get through the emotional toll of this process. She gave us clarity and encouragement for 3 years now. She was truly helpful and very very kind. We ( including my sister who has passed) feel so fortunate to have Tina "on the case", as expert and friend. We are grateful to Tina and the services of Parker Waichman. Thank you so so much.

Parker Waichman handled a slip and fall case for my husband - which was handled with the utmost professionalism. Speaking with the paralegal assigned to the case, Lynda Luckman, was an absolute pleasure. She was helpful from the inception of his case, up until receiving closing papers. She always knew exactly what the status of the case was and was always there to answer any and all questions we had. Her patience and kindness was exemplary. Brett Zekowski, the attorney on the case, was very attentive to our requests and delivered a result that we were very pleased with. We will certainly recommend Parker Waichman to anyone in need of legal assistance!
