(Pittsburgh, PA) Automatic emergency braking (AEB) technology has advanced to address crash situations that are more complex, including those that occur at intersections.

AAA tested four 2026 model-year vehicles across different intersection crash scenarios to better understand how the latest intersection AEB systems perform.

The results showed good performance in standardized tests.

However, limitations when new scenarios were presented.

All four of the vehicles avoided a collision in the standardized left turn across oncoming traffic scenario.

Furthermore, three of the four systems did not prevent a collision when a vehicle entered their path from a side road.
