Terrible heavy handed Big Government! This will make all new cars more expensive and unaffordable for some by government dictate!
This is extreme and excessive government paternalism to reduce 20 thousand traffic deaths and to pursue the net zero dogma! "The new safety measures will help to better protect passengers, pedestrians and cyclists across the EU, expectedly saving over 25,000 lives and avoid at least 140,000 serious injuries by 2038."
This is government despotism based on the horrible precautionary principle!
Most of these requirements should be left to free markets and free citizens to be introduced or not! The black box for cars is perhaps the only acceptable mandate!
The European Union has morphed into a Soviet Union as it gets larger!
"... How it works: Some requirements apply to all vehicles. Others govern light and heavy commercial vehicles:
All vehicles must implement speed assistance. They must monitor safe and legal driving speed based on road signs, weather conditions, and other external cues. They must also provide feedback to speeding drivers (for instance an audio warning or reverse pressure on the acceleration pedal) In addition, they must detect when nearby vehicles drive in reverse.
All vehicles must monitor drivers for distraction and drowsiness.
They must keep a record of the vehicle’s state similar to an aircraft’s black box.
Passenger cars and light commercial vehicles such as vans must include automatic lane keeping and breaking to avoid collisions.
Heavy commercial vehicles such as buses and trucks must implement warnings for lane keeping and breaking; automated control is not required. They must detect hazards in blind spots and provide warnings of potential collisions with pedestrians and cyclists. ..."
