As Congressional lawmakers examine the future of motor vehicle safety laws, SEMA is defending the right to modify, repair and calibrate today's advanced vehicles.

The symposium focused on creating an industry-wide roadmap to ensure safe ADAS functionality, whether a vehicle is factory-original or modified with aftermarket parts.

The new rule makes AEB standard on all passenger cars and trucks weighing up to 10,000 lbs.

The current law only requires a seatbelt warning for driver-seat use. NHTSA is accepting public comments on the proposal until November 6.

While SEMA recognizes the rule's potential, it is imperative to vehicle safety that drivers can manually disengage these features.

SEMA encourages aftermarket businesses to provide feedback on the rulemaking directly to our Government Affairs staff.
