Modern automatic emergency braking systems are light years away
All 2024 models can avoid a collision at 35 mph, while older models have a 67 percent chance of crashing October 24, 2024 12:39 AAA testing found that automatic emergency braking systems have improved significantly over the past seven years. All 2024 models were able to successfully avoid a collision at 35 mph, compared with just 33 percent for older models. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will require vehicles to be equipped with automatic emergency braking systems by the end of 2029 to avoid collisions at speeds of 62 mph.

The results speak for themselves, with every 2024 model tested by AAA successfully avoiding collisions at speeds up to 35 mph (56 km/h). For 2017…

There are many potential answers here and we hope you can give us reasons for choosing one of them Many car brands face challenges, but only a few may not survive the next decade.

This year’s Christmas peak season has swept the logistics industry
Although from a consumer perspective, Christmas or promotional events such as Black Friday in November are still a long way off, the TSL industry is already starting to feel the Christmas rush. The most dynamic situation is sea freight. This year, the importance lies not only in the distance to the production market, but also in the resilience of the supply chain.
