According to independent research, red light cameras have a measurable impact on traffic safety; in 2016, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety determined red-light cameras in 79 large US cities saved nearly 1,296 lives.

Conversely, the study found the rate of red-light running fatalities rose 30 per cent in cities that had turned off their cameras. However, red-light running fatalities decreased 21 percent in cities that turned on red-light safety cameras.

    October 14, 2019
    In-car automatic emergency braking systems with pedestrian detection mostly fail to avoid hitting pedestrians - and are “completely ineffective at night”, according to new research. In shocking findings, the American Automobile Association (AAA) revealed that most systems hit a simulated pedestrian target at 30mph. A collision also occurred 89% of the time when a vehicle operating at 20mph encountered a child darting between two cars. In tests, all vehicles collided with an adult pedestrian immediately fo
