Bosch to roll out new braking system in 2010 to improve pedestrian safety in ME | BOSCH | AMEinfo.com

. . .
According to European studies, as many as 1,100 fatal accidents involving pedestrians can be prevented each year if all cars are equipped with braking assistance systems. These systems have become mandatory for all new car and light commercial vehicle types in the EU since November 24, 2009 and will be required in new vehicles from February 24, 2011 as part of new EU regulation aimed at improving pedestrian safety. Bosch analyses of the German In-Depth Accident Study show that in rear-end collisions leading to injury, a third of German drivers did not apply the brakes before collision while half did not use full braking capacity. A predictive emergency braking system could have prevented three out of four of these crashes.

This is the type of change I believe in.
