Enhanced Cyclist Safety: Mandatory Automatic Emergency Braking in New Vehicles.

This Act mandates the Secretary of Transportation to issue new rules within three years regarding Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) systems in new light vehicles, including cars and trucks. These systems must be capable of detecting and reacting to vulnerable road users, such as cyclists, pedestrians, and micromobility users. The goal is to significantly improve road safety for individuals traveling without the protection of a vehicle's hard shell.
Key points
New light vehicles (passenger cars, trucks, SUVs) must include AEB systems capable of detecting cyclists and pedestrians.
AEB systems must recognize the full range of colors and complexions presented by skin, clothing, and protective gear for effective operation.
The compliance date for manufacturers is set for no later than two motor vehicle model years after the final rule is issued.
The legislation directly impacts the daily safety of micromobility users (bicycles, scooters) and pedestrians.
