Hi everyone, happy almost Fourth of July! So much analysis on #AutomaticEmergencyBraking (AEB) and so little consensus! AEB is set to be mandated by 2029, though the Alliance for Automotive Innovation has brought up concerns on the technology. The new rule, as written, takes a new turn from the industry collaboration since 2016. More work and analysis must be done on AEB, which is now ubiquitous, but absolutely critical on the path to #autonomousdriving. Biggest issue is #phantombraking - and a #Tesla class action lawsuit making its way through the courts. Good bet that lawsuit will be settled before trial, so the depositions etc. will never see the light of day, as illuminating as the findings will be. We'll then be looking closely for #NHTSA's findings on the issue. My thoughts:

Read the latest article by partners Joanne Rotondi, Earl Adams Jr., and counsel Susan McAuliffe on the NHTSA's groundbreaking safety standard requiring Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) systems in all light vehicles by September 1, 2029. This mandate, a result of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, emphasizes the importance of forward-thinking #technology in enhancing #roadsafety. #NHTSA #weMOVEyou

The NHTSA recently issued a critical warning for substandard replacement airbags, bringing airbag safety back into the spotlight years after the largest recall in automotive history. In the past year alone, five incidents involving these airbags have resulted in three deaths and two life-altering injuries.

Speeding remains a significant issue, contributing to nearly a third of motor vehicle fatalities for over two decades, with 29% of traffic fatalities in 2022 involving speeding. Driving too fast for conditions, such as in bad weather or poorly lit areas, endangers everyone on the road. The consequences of speeding include increased crash severity, higher economic costs, and greater fuel consumption. Factors driving speeding include traffic congestion, running late, anonymity, and disregard for others and the law. To address this, NHTSA collaborates with various organizations to implement speed management programs and enforcement measures.

Are you ready? The United States Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has released the Spring 2024 Unified Agenda, detailing federal regulatory and deregulatory actions. Key updates include the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) initiatives on automotive safety, emphasizing the adoption of advanced crash test dummies like THOR-50M, THOR-5F, and WorldSID-50M. These updates aim to align U.S. regulations with international standards and enhance vehicle safety assessments.

Will the new NHTSA Regulations on Automatic Emergency Braking help save lives? 🚗 With distracted driving and pedestrian fatalities rising, new regulations from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) will require enhanced automatic braking systems in new cars by September 2029. 🚚 These systems will: Prevent crashes at higher speeds and in low-light conditions Automatically apply brakes to avoid collisions and pedestrian impacts Research shows these advancements could prevent up to 360 deaths and 24,000 injuries annually.
