Come 2029, all cars sold in the U.S. "must be able to stop and avoid contact with a vehicle in front of them at speeds up to 62 mph," reports Car and Driver. "Additionally, the system must be able to detect pedestrians in both daylight and darkness. As a final parameter, the federal standard will require the system to apply the brakes automatically up to 90 mph when a collision is imminent, and up to 45 mph when a pedestrian is detected." Notably, the federal standardization of automated emergency braking systems includes pedestrian-identifying emergency braking, too. Once implemented, the NHTSA projects that this standard will save at least 360 lives a year and prevent at least 24,000 injuries annually. Specifically, the federal agency claims that rear-end collisions and pedestrian injuries will both go down significantly... "Automatic emergency braking is proven to save lives and reduce serious injuries from frontal crashes, and this technology is now mature enough to require it in all new cars and light trucks. In fact, this technology is now so advanced that we`re requiring these systems to be even more effective at higher speeds and to detect pedestrians," said NHTSA deputy administrator Sophie Shulman.

but will restore our family," she said. While the two doctors who testified in Patel`s defense last week claimed he was suffering from major depressive disorder with a psychotic feature at the time of the crash, Dr. Yan Chan -- who was called to testify by Deputy District Attorney Dominique Davis -- said he believed Patel is actually suffering from schizoaffective disorder. According to the National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI) , schizoaffective disorder is a rare, "chronic mental health condition characterized primarily by symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations or delusions, and symptoms of a mood disorder, such as mania and depression." It can be treated with medications, including mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and antidepressants, along with therapy. Judge Susan Jakubowski must rule whether or not Patel has a qualifying mental illness and if it contributed to the accident. In addition, the judge will determine if she believes Patel would benefit from mental health treatment and if he presents a threat to public safety. Although The Chronicle noted that schizoaffective disorder is a qualifying mental illness for a mental health diversion, the judge must conclude that Patel would participate in the full program, which includes taking prescription medications. Chan said Patel appeared reluctant to take antipsychotics when he was hospitalized after the crash, while also citing that Patel`s medical records showed that his paranoia symptoms returned after he stopped taking his antipsychotic medication. In addition, Chan said Patel appeared to have signs of "underreporting" his symptoms, and also noted that he initially claimed that the crash was an accident. The psychologist testified that Patel presented symptoms of schizoaffective disorder as far back as February 2022. He said Patel believed his mailman was "out of get him" at one point. Chan also expressed his concern that outpatient treatment would be a "ripe environment for these kinds o
