Car Safety Features Must Be Sold Separately From Luxury Packages.
This bill ensures that car manufacturers cannot force consumers to buy expensive convenience or luxury packages just to access optional safety features. Life-saving systems, such as advanced driver alerts or enhanced illumination, must be offered for sale separately or included as standard equipment. This change promotes price transparency and allows citizens to purchase crucial safety technology without unnecessary add-ons.
Key points
Mandatory Unbundling: Optional safety features (e.g., collision alerts, lane-keeping systems) must be sold separately from non-safety features (luxury or convenience items).
Price Transparency: Sellers must clearly disclose the cost of optional safety features distinct from any non-safety features.
Enforcement: Violations are treated as unfair trade practices, enforceable by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and State Attorneys General, allowing for penalties and consumer restitution.
