Here is my friend Eddy, sharing the hottest new auto safety technology available in the marketplace; Forward Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection.  This important life-saving feature is available in the 2018 Hyundai Kona, Santa Fe Sport, Sonata Tucson and Genesis! Also included in the Advanced Safety Technology package from Hyundai is…

When researching safety technology for your next car, I recommend you visit the IIHS website. Insurance Institute of Highway Safety. org crash avoidance page. Pick the year, make and model you are considering to determine how these cars rate for crash avoidance. AEB or Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection is just one of the many safety options listed on the IIHS Crash Avoidance website page.

• The solid dot means it is standard equipment.
• A half-filled circle means it is an option.
• A minus, -, sign indicates the feature is not available.

The IIHS website also rates the ability of the vehicle to prevent a crash, with a point system. See samples of the car listings below. Jaguar wagon costs over $70k with this technology all standard.    

This 2018 Jeep Cherokee has a superior  rating:

Furthermore, don’t just take the salesperson’s word for it, ask them to demonstrate the feature in REAL-TIME during a test-drive!  I expect Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection to become a mandated safety feature by 2025.  Check out the IIHS white paper, shown below. The IIHS report identifies the percentage of crash and injury  reductions thanks to these life saving technologies! Ask your auto insurance carrier what discounts they provide for these features.
