Safety first, as we’ve always been told. As years go by, technology continues to advance at an astounding rate, and our vehicles become the safest they have ever been.
General Motors has taken another step forward regarding safety, announcing it will voluntarily comply with an industry-wide agreement to make automatic emergency braking systems standard on all light vehicles by 2022.
Currently, Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac all offer the advanced braking feature, encompassing 39 vehicles total within GM’s portfolio of vehicles. 19 models offer both automatic emergency braking and forward collision alert.
The first application of automatic emergency braking by GM came for about with the 2013 Cadillac ATS, SRX and XTS.
GM will continue to strive to be a leader in innovative crash-avoidance technology, with developments continuing at the Milford Proving Grounds’ safety facility.
At a time of year when luxury car ATP usually rises.
Sales decreased 5.6 percent to 16,670 units during the first ten months of 2024.
Specifically critical minerals supply chain development.
Scheduled for a Spring 2025 launch.

Automatic emergency braking is something that's as important as airbags and is something that all car companies need to implement into cars as quickly as possible.
I wonder why they just don't make it standard on most vehicles now. This is what Toyota, Honda, and Subaru are already doing. GM prides itself in leading in safety and innovation. They seem to be dropping the ball here. You can buy it now on most GM vehicles - if you take the loaded model with absolutely everything in many cases.
