AEB Systems ‘Phantom Breaking’ Poses Liability Concerns

AF Editor Mike Antich offers his insights into the state of the fleet market in the 135^th State of the Fleet Industry video, produced by Automotive Fleet. 

🎙Today's topics include:

• The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened a formal investigation of a series of “phantom braking” incidents.
• On January 8, 2023, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Tesla, alleging that 2021 and 2022 Model 3 and Model Y were prone to stop suddenly due to the false triggering of the automatic emergency braking system.
• In the past four years, there have been a number of vehicles produced by various auto manufacturers recalled to correct primarily software issues with the automatic emergency braking systems for specific models.
• It is important for fleet managers to be aware of the possibility of phantom braking and to stay informed of the situation as new developments occur.
