Auto Emergency Braking (AEB), already a standard feature on more than 50 car models available in Victorian showrooms, has the potential to significantly reduce the number and severity of rear-end collisions, ultimately reducing road trauma in the Victorian community.

Says Gordon Rich-Phillips, assistant treasurer: “The new TAC campaign aims to drive consumer demand for the technology in the same way earlier campaigns drove a sharp increase in the uptake of safety features like curtain airbags and electronic stability control (ESC).

“As part of the Road Safety Strategy, the TAC campaign encourages Victorians to visit howsafeisyourcar.com.au and consider purchasing a vehicle fitted with technology that can save lives and AEB is just one of these features that car buyers should consider.
