The bill mandates that all new vehicles under 10,000 pounds include automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems capable of detecting cyclists, pedestrians, and other vulnerable road users under all conditions. This critical technology could save thousands of lives each year by reducing collisions and fatal crashes.

This bill protects everyone:

• Cyclists and pedestrians
• Highway and construction workers
• First responders and law enforcement in safety equipment
• Children walking to school
• Parents crossing the street
• People of all skin tones and appearances

It ensures AEB systems work for all road users, not just those in vehicles.

The U.S. has seen an alarming rise in cyclist fatalities, with vulnerable road users increasingly at risk on our streets. Current regulations fail to protect everyone. The Magnus White Cyclist Safety Act fixes this gap, ensuring vehicles are equipped with lifesaving technology that considers all road users—not just cars.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety estimates that properly designed AEB systems could prevent up to 52% of fatal driver-cyclist collisions and reduce 26% of all such crashes. Passing this bill could save countless lives, making roads safer for everyone.

If Congress doesn’t act, vehicle manufacturers won’t be required to implement AEB systems that detect cyclists and other vulnerable road users. The current rules only cover pedestrians or vehicles directly ahead, leaving many people at risk. Failure to pass this legislation means continuing to miss opportunities to save lives.
