A panel convened by the?National Academy of Sciences is calling for NHTSA to??become more familiar with and engaged in?. What does this mean for you? More government intervention in new cars, of course.
Automotive News reported that
?The panel recommended that regulators require event data recorders in cars and that the safety agency research the design and placement of accelerator and brake pedals to minimize the risk of drivers mistaking one for the other.?NHTSA plans to propose a rule requiring data recorders and to update its accelerator-control safety standard to require a so-called brake override system in a few months, Lynda Tran, an agency spokeswoman, said.?
I don?t know about you, but I?ve never ever confused the brake and gas pedals in my life. As for the event data recorded law? Well, I?m sure the Best and Brightest will have lots to say about that. Maybe Ronnie can give Ray LaHood a piece of his mind on behalf of TTAC next time they run into one another.
