Bill Summary
A BILL To require the Secretary of Transportation, acting through the Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safe- ty Administration, to prescribe a Federal motor vehicle safety standard for advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Reduce Impaired Driving for Everyone (RIDE) Act of 2021, requires the Secretary of Transportation to prescribe a federal motor vehicle safety standard that mandates the installation of advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology in all new passenger motor vehicles. This technology can passively monitor the driver's performance and/or detect if the driver's blood alcohol concentration is above the legal limit, and then prevent or limit the vehicle's operation if impairment is detected. The bill provides the Secretary some flexibility in the timeline for implementing this requirement, but aims to have the technology standard in place within 2-3 years of the bill's enactment. The goal is to help prevent the over 10,000 annual alcohol-impaired driving fatalities in the United States.
