TSLA - Tesla and Toyota among automakers to meet braking safety commitment

Tesla ([[TSLA]] +2.7%) is the only U.S. automaker to meet a promise to regulators to equip all its models with automatic emergency braking nearly two years ahead of schedule, according to Consumer Reports and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.The automatic emergency braking is noted to help avoid rear-end collisions by sensing a car stopped ahead and automatically applying the brakes.Ford ([[F]] -0.2%) has put the automatic braking technology on 91% of its vehicles in the last year, while less than half of all General Motors ([[GM]] +0.9%) and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCAU) models have the safety device.Across the Atlantic and Pacific, other auto manufacturers that have met the braking requirement in full are Audi (AUDVF), Mercedes-Benz (DDAIF), Volvo AB, BMW (BMWYY), Hyundai Motor (HYMLF), Mazda Motor (MMTOF), Subaru (FUJHY) and Toyota (TM).The development could take on some significance with the auto industry potentially seeing more regulatory pressure in the Biden Administration.CFRA
