The U.S. government will update automobile safety ratings starting in the 2026 model year, incorporating new driver-assistance technologies like pedestrian detection and blind spot warnings. This change, mandated by a 2021 infrastructure law, aims to improve safety evaluations not just for passengers but also for pedestrians, while introducing a grading system for the new features to motivate automakers. Additional measures include stricter standards for existing safety technologies, with automatic emergency braking becoming standard by 2029.
