Automatic Emergency Braking Standards
Official: Magnus White Cyclist Safety Act of 2025
This bill aims to improve road safety by ensuring that new vehicles have effective automatic emergency braking systems that can detect and respond to vulnerable road users. It is important for reducing accidents and protecting cyclists and motorcyclists on the road.
1. This bill requires new vehicles to have automatic emergency braking systems. 2. The braking systems must work in both daylight and low light conditions. 3. They must detect vulnerable road users like cyclists and motorcyclists. 4. The Secretary of Transportation has three years to set these rules. 5. Compliance with the new standards will be required within two model years.
Cyclists, motorcyclists, and drivers of new vehicles will be directly impacted by these safety standards.
