Nissan says it will be making autonomous emergency braking (AEB) a standard feature on a million 2018 model year vehicles it is slated to sell in the United States.
The move to introduce AEB – an element of the Nissan’s Intelligent Safety Shield suite of driver-aid technologies – will more than double the number of AEB-equipped Nissan vehicles sold there, compared to that offered in the 2017 model year line-up.
Models that will offer AEB as standard equipment will include the Rogue (X-Trail), Rogue Sport (Qashqai), Altima (Teana), Murano, Pathfinder, Maxima, Sentra (Sylphy) and the Leaf EV, except for those equipped with a manual transmission or a Nismo version.
The system – previously known as Forward Emergency Braking – uses radar technology to monitor a vehicle’s proximity to the vehicle ahead, giving the driver audible and visual display warnings to help the driver reduce the vehicle’s speed if a potential frontal collision is detected.
If the driver doesn’t respond, the AEB system can apply the brakes, helping to avoid the collision or mitigate the effects of a frontal collision by trimming the speed of impact.
The automaker’s inclusion of AEB as standard fitment falls in line with the plan by major automakers to incorporate such a system as a standard feature on all new cars by 2022. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data obtained from a 2013 survey, one-third of all reported crashes involve a rear-end collision, and the agency says that items like AEB can help reduce injury insurance claims by as much as 35%.

Meanwhile in Malaysia, Nissan model in 2018 still come with two airbags (X-trail, Serena, Almera, Livina etc)… Please improve on this Nissan Malaysia or TC.
Tan Chong will make it compulsory on 2081.
Meanwhile in Malaysia, Tan Chong Motors assemble Nissan car even with only 1 airbag!
We probably need to see this in Malaysia a few decades later.
At the point of writing, there are 7 comments. All comments indicate TCM/Nissan vehicles in M’sia do not have a Gud perception. It’s high time TCM buckle up.
Please don’t take it as Bashing. They are merely showing their frustration bcos they only wanted Nissan/TCM to improve. Please take it positively. It’s the weekend. Cheers
Tan Chong Motors is just …. eat pau, sell pau mentality. Perhaps the family fued has had a great impact on the running of business. Not only ultra conservative but very slow to accept new things & idea.
Sorry Tan Chong Malaysia but I see Glen Tan as the only innovator in the family but he is the Singapore side of your family.
