Las Vegas, Nevada, Oct 8, 2026 – Hansen & Harmon Injury Law warns motorcyclists about potential failures in advanced safety technology that could increase their risk on the road.
Recent research indicates that Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) systems often do not detect motorcycles, making riders vulnerable. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has updated its testing protocols, revealing that only the 2023–2024 Subaru Forester received a good rating, while other tested vehicles failed to recognize motorcycle-shaped targets.
Motorcyclists now represent 16% of traffic fatalities nationwide, with motorcycle riding being 28 times more dangerous per mile than driving a car. The law firm cites incidents in the Las Vegas Valley where AEB systems were active but failed during rear-end collisions and left-turn incidents, resulting in severe injuries or fatalities for riders.
Kevin R. Hansen, Managing Partner at Hansen & Harmon, emphasized that the legal landscape regarding liability is evolving as evidence of AEB failures becomes critical in motorcycle accident cases. He advises motorcyclists to remain vigilant and not solely rely on vehicle technology for safety.
