Bill > S03832

This bill mandates that all motor vehicles registered in New York and manufactured or assembled on or after January 1, 2027, must be equipped with advanced safety technology. The bill defines "advanced safety technology" as including several specific systems: Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA), which helps control vehicle speed; Advanced Emergency Braking (AEB), which can automatically stop a vehicle to prevent collisions; Emergency Lane Keeping Systems (ELKS), which help prevent unintended lane departures; Blind Spot Information Systems (BSIS) with cyclist and pedestrian detection; drowsiness and distraction recognition technology; rear-view camera sensor systems; and Event Data Recorders (EDR) that provide standardized data. Additionally, the bill requires the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles to establish regulations for vehicle direct visibility, specifically focusing on reducing blind spots for vehicles weighing 3,000 pounds or more to improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable road users. The commissioner must conduct public hearings and develop detailed specifications for each type of required technology. The bill aims to enhance road safety by mandating these advanced technological features in all new vehicles registered in the state.
