   Automatic braking systems save lives. Now they’ll need to work at 62 mph.
   Regulators have ordered an expansion of the tech, but the auto industry says the upgrade won’t be easy.

     @arstechnica wow, assumed my braking assistance would help on a motorway, but sounds like that doesn't particularly exist yet.
     Hoping this happens, motorway pile ups are stupid

     @arstechnica intelligent pedestrians saves more lives. Automatic braking won’t prevent a truck moving at the correct speed from running over an idiot that unlawfully crosses the road right in frint if the truck because the were looking at the phone instead of where they were going!
