As cars grow more complex with each passing year, accumulating ever more available active driver assistance systems, it s worth taking a good, hard look at the empirical evidence to see which technologies work, and which ones don t. On that note, given the chance, you should absolutely consider opting for reverse automatic emergency braking; the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has just labeled the technology the standout feature in this year s compilation of research from its own Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI).
