OMB Approves NHTSA Pedestrian Protection Final Rule

Friday, the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had approved a final rule from the DOT’s National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) on “New Car Assessment Program Pedestrian Protection”. NHTSA sent the proposed final rule to OIRA on September 10th, 2024. NHTS published a request for comments on the rulemaking on May 5th, 2023. This rulemaking was not listed in the Spring 2023 Unified Agenda.

I am not likely to provide any detailed coverage on the publication of this rule. I am mentioning it because it will be another expansion of NHTSA vehicle automation requirements without any significant regulatory requirements for cybersecurity protections of such systems. I do expect to announce the publication of the final rule in the appropriate Short Takes post when it is published.
