Three U.S. senators want driver monitoring systems

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Three Democratic U.S. senators on Monday said they are introducing legislation that would require U.S. regulators to mandate installation of driver-monitoring systems to ensure motorists pay attention while using systems like Tesla's Autopilot.

Senators Ed Markey, Richard Blumenthal and Amy Klobuchar introduced the measure on Monday, saying they hope to get it included as part of infrastructure reform legislation. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened 28 probes into Tesla crashes to date, with 24 pending, where Autopilot was suspected of being in use.

The measure also requires the agency "to study how driver-monitoring systems can prevent driver distraction, driver disengagement, automation complacency, and the foreseeable misuse of advanced driver-assist systems."

NHTSA said it does not comment on pending legislation. Tesla did not respond to a request for comment.

In a letter to NHTSA last week, Blumenthal and Markey said Tesla has "been criticized for misrepresenting the capabilities of their vehicles’ automated driving and driver assistance

April 25, 2024 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The all-new 2025 Ram 1500 RHO makes its debut today and once again cements Ram Truck as North America’s off-road truck leader. As the latest example in a long line of performance truck leadership, the Ram 1500 RHO offers the best value with more horsepower per dollar ($129.60) than any other off-road offering.

Tesla's top dog, Elon Musk, spilled the beans that he's in discussions with a big-time car manufacturer regarding licensing Tesla's electric vehicle tech and their much-touted Full Self-Driving software, which is currently undergoing trials on public streets. During an investor call, Musk revealed this juicy tidbit, which also veered into updates about the Cybertruck, upcoming robotaxis, artificial intelligence, robotics, and even futuristic bionic limbs.

As of April 24, 2024, Elon Musk shared that discussions were already underway with a major original equipment manufacturer (OEM) regarding the potential utilization of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology. Musk emphasized Tesla's openness to licensing the technology, stating that they are not aiming to keep it exclusive.

The hands-free driving assist system that debuted for Stellantis on the other 2025 Ram 1500s is also available on the RHO. Like GM’s Super Cruise and Ford’s BlueCruise, this system is only usable on pre-mapped highways and allows the driver go hands-off while cruising, but they must keep eyes-oin road and be ready to take back the wheel at any time.
