General Motors supports the voluntary industry safety agreement that would lead to making forward collision alert and automatic emergency braking standard on virtually all new light vehicles by 2022.
Both technologies are available today on 2016 Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac models. Thirty-nine 2016 models are available with forward collision alert – accounting for more than 1 million vehicles on the road – and 19 models offer both forward collision alert and automatic emergency braking.

Background:
- Forward collision alert alerts the driver to a potential crash when the system detects that a front-end collision situation may be imminent
- Automatic emergency braking, also referred to as forward automatic braking, automatically applies brakes when the system detects that a front-end collision is imminent, to help avoid the collision or reduce the collision’s severity.
- GM’s first application of forward collision alert was the 2004 Cadillac XLR
- GM first offered automatic emergency braking in the 2013 Cadillac XTS, ATS, and SRX
- GM recently opened a state-of-the-art safety test facility at its Milford Proving Ground to accelerate the development and testing of crash avoidance innovations
