What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Magnus White Cyclist Safety Act of 2025," directs the Secretary of Transportation to create new rules for automatic emergency braking systems. These systems must be installed in new covered vehicles, which include passenger cars, certain trucks, and multipurpose passenger vehicles. The Secretary is required to issue a final rule within three years of the Act's enactment. This rule will establish minimum performance standards for these braking systems. The standards involve how the systems function in different lighting and how they detect various road users. Finally, the Secretary must set a compliance date no later than two model years after the rule is issued.
