Automatic Emergency Braking coming to most of Toyota lineup

[ic0517]

The automaker has announced that almost all of its vehicles will adopt automatic emergency braking next year, almost five years ahead of a deadline voluntarily set by a group of automakers last week.

The safety system will be in place in almost all Toyota and Lexus vehicles by the end of 2017, the automaker announced yesterday prior to the New York Auto Show.

Not sure if that means 5th or 6th gen 4Runner, but my guess is, 6th. I take it "end of 2017" means 2018 MY.

Haven't played around enough with that automatic braking stuff to have a strong opinion one way or the other. Though Top Gear hilariously showed some possible issues with the technology.
