WASHINGTON, Jan 17 (Reuters) - A group representing

major automakers on Friday said it filed lawsuit to block a

landmark rule from the administration of President Joe Biden

requiring nearly all new cars and trucks by 2029 to have

advanced automatic emergency braking systems.

The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, representing General

Motors ( GM ), Toyota Motor ( TM ), Volkswagen and

other automakers, said the rule finalized in April by the

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is "practically

impossible with available technology." The group asked the U.S.

Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to overturn the

rule.
