Thatcham invites fleets to attend event on AEB & advanced driver systems

Whilst UK road casualties continue to decline, several crash types still occur all too frequently on our roads, particularly those involving driver error or distraction which account for up to 90% of all crashes.

Autonomous Emergency Braking has a significant role to play in preventing these kinds of collisions and is seen by experts as the most important development in vehicle safety since the seatbelt, prevent and mitigating both injury and damage as well as directly benefitting insurance costs.

On the day, Thatcham will provide an overview of AEB and the wider range of Collision Avoidance technologies, exploring the significant benefits and potential cost savings, before participants get to try the systems in a safe, closed track environment.

The event is at Upper Heyford in Oxfordshire, just off the M40.
