Looks like Ineos will have to add more tech in Oz

Autonomous braking required in Australia from March 25 by the looks of it.

I don’t see this listed in the current downloadable sales brochure??

Maybe they get around it by claiming it’s a commercial vehicle or some such technicality?

Australia’s tightening car safety regulations will force several major brands to axe popular models

From 1 March this year, all new vehicles sold in Australia will require the standard fitment of car-to-car AEB.

That's already part of the ADAS system I Presume. So radar and most of the software are already there. They just have to tick the box.

Just need the idiot driver detection/disable system to be introduced now.

My '24 (5/24:build) has it listed in one of the ADAS menues but it is grayed out.

The dealer told me in Dec when I collected mine that these where a requirement for mining companies which is a market they are after.
Glad I got mine before all these nanny things are added.

The influence that ANCAP the non-government, government funded auto advisory group is pushing these changes for the new safety systems, nothing to do with mining. Big mining companies have that many driver monitoring add ons for light vehicles that can be easily downloaded when an event occurs.
It will be a good while before Grenadier is a mainstream mine fleets, at least in Australia, it's still too niche for most big fleets. When it arrives the 4500kg Ford Ranger will likely knock Toyota sales around and become prevalent in mining fleets.
