Fact Sheet Background
In partnership with the Automobile Club of Southern California’s Automotive Research Center, AAA conducted primary research to evaluate the performance of 2024 and 2025 model year vehicles with pedestrian detection systems in a controlled closed-course environment, using an industry-standard adult pedestrian target perpendicularly crossing. Each system was evaluated at 25 mph under both daytime and nighttime conditions, with the pedestrian target wearing standard, non- reflective clothing and an ANSI Class 3 high-visibility clothing ensemble.
