Actually it's 'Stop said FRED'; Autonomous Emergency Braking is coming to every new car sooner rather than later;

'... the European New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) has called on motor manufacturers to fit AEB as standard on all cars and says that from 2014 it will include the technology in its crash test programme star rating.'

Whatever happens, the nascent technology produced one of the greatest PR gaffs of all time...
