Some kind of sensor to let the driver know there's an infant in the back seat would be way better than this emergency braking thing.

Those stories break my heart and I know we'll hear about them shortly.

So the triage approach. Where should the money be spent instead?

My take is many cars already have the hardware for emergency braking it's up to the software to make it work. Get it done auto makers.
So, 1 live is worth it regardless of the cost monetary or otherwise?

Or require an interlock device in all vehicles made.

Non answer.

The actual answer is capex is put towards saving lives if it also financially beneficial to do so. Emergency braking is actually a part of collision avoidance done properly this not only saves lives but a whole pile of money as well.

If the number one cause for fatal accidents is speeding, and they're saying this will only save about 350 lives per year, then they're not targeting the true reason, now are they?

Main cause is distraction via phones and drinking

So, if speeding, distracted driving and DUI are the top 3, and this reduces only about 350, then its a waste of time.

Saving lives is not an arbitrary either/or choice we can do it in many ways. You're not being logical.

I am being logical. You go towards the number one cause, not a small number that may lead to other issues.

If you or someone you care for is one of those 350 people you’d think it was worth it.

Well yea... but every year inevitably there's a story from Texas, Arizona or Florida about someone leaving their kid in 100 degree temps.
