The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued a proposal to require the installation of a brake-throttle override (BTO) system on all new passenger cars and light trucks. The agency intends to update Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 124, Accelerator Control Systems, to address instances of unintended vehicle acceleration. The BTO system would be triggered when the gas pedal and brake are simultaneously applied, or when the accelerator control system is disconnected. The updated rule would not address instances in which the driver accidentally presses down on the accelerator rather than applying the brakes. Many new vehicles already have a BTO system. The NHTSA would provide two or three years for all light-duty vehicles to have the equipment once the rule is finalized.

SEMA-supported legislation to provide vehicle owners the option of using vintage, original model-year license plates on antique and classic vehicles was signed into law by Governor Tom Corbett. Under the new law, an application fee of $75 would be charged to use year-of-manufacture plates. The law provides that vintage plates must have been issued by the state of Pennsylvania between the years 1906 and 1975, must be provided by the vehicle owner and legible from a reasonable distance. There is no obligation to pay the fee for model-year license plates. Antique vehicle owners may still apply for special antique, classic or collectible plates that bear the designation "antique vehicle."
