When traction control was introduced in German cars by Mercedes, accidents for those cars immediately fell by 15% compared with other vehicles. The government wisely made such systems mandatory. Similar improvements were noted years earlier for ABS - also, by the way, introduced in Germany, by Mercedes. It's probably too early to tell how automated braking systems work, but we should get preliminary results soon, and there's no reason to think there will be anything but another improvement over cars unequipped with such systems.
There's really no doubt at all that such automation reduces accidents, or that reducing accidents saves lives and reduces injuries. Comparisons for specific technologies are either already available, or will be very soon. There is no reason to think they will be anything but an improvement.
Results already coming in.

The study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that vehicles with automatic braking and forward collision warning systems had a 39 percent lower incidence of rear-end crashes. Forward collision warning systems alone reduced rear-end collisions by 23 percent, the study found.
The combination of crash-prevention technologies cut the incidence of rear-end crashes involving injuries by 42 percent, but the study’s authors found that collision warning alone had little effect in reducing injury accidents.
Then why an 8% increase in deaths in 2 years?
Did tech
reduce injuries?
IOW. Even if the accident still resulted in 'injuries', was there a drop in the
severity of the injuries?
Context...
Can we get some context all up in here!!!?
Why the hell are you always trolling automated driving and science threads?
I'm not trolling... I'll admit I lurk for these articles.
I'm not looking to hook.
What are people my age, that have had a job (truck-driver), going to do when Elon Musk and Google out-source
our my job(s) to robots, on the backs of 'acceptable' losses to their greed?
It was an 8% increase in deaths... Most truck-divers already know this...
We also know there has been a much larger increase in miles driven...
Overall, deaths per mile have gone down...
Fucking shit! If Megan can't get context then who the fuck at Ars can?!?!?
I have the
8th most dangerous job in America and no one gives a shit and
most people boohoo cops, which are not even in the top 10 - 15th and 50% are their own fault, because
they drive like idiots-!!! ...and these, bullshit, systems are on our trucks and jack-knife us in snow and rain....
No!!! I cannot turn it off!!!
I'm the guy that dies when some fucking four wheeler spins out in front of me in the rain or snow because AI decides the four wheeler's life is more important than mine and slams on the brakes!!!?
I'm the guy Ars' readers blame when some fucking Darwin Award winner, watching Harry Potter, kills himself... ...I'm the fucking test dummy!!!
It
is personal... There... ... you asked...
...not going away.
