Feds get ready to rewrite car headlight rules
摘要
美国现行汽车前照灯法规与欧洲、日本不同，导致相关照明技术在美国发展滞后。国家公路交通安全管理局表示，现行标准不允许车企应用最新安全照明技术，将启动协商式规则制定程序，汇集专家与利益相关方，推动标准现代化并应对眩光问题。新规拟面向2026年更新，以提升道路安全、减少繁琐流程并接纳新技术。
One of the regulations that make vehicles in the US different from those in Europe or Japan is our headlight rules. They’re laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS), and changing them is—or used to be—a lengthy, laborious process, which is a major reason automotive lighting technology has lagged in the US. But the current administration says it’s time for “bolstering driver safety, slashing red tape, and embracing new technologies,” so it’s going to start a negotiated rulemaking process to rewrite the regulations to suit 2026.
“Today’s standards do not allow automakers to deploy the latest safety-improving lighting technologies, so we are bringing key experts and stakeholders together to modernize our standards and address potential causes of glare,” the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Jonathan Morrison said. “This collaborative approach will allow us to update outdated regulations, foster innovation, and keep everyone on our roads safer.”
While it is fair to be skeptical of the government's efforts to streamline bureaucracy, it is also fair to say US headlight regulations really could use an update.
