Collision Avoidance Systems Act of 2025
Sponsored By: Representative Webster (FL)
In Committee
Summary
Allows pulsating high-mounted stop lamps by changing the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 to permit and set rules for brief, rapid brake-light pulses. The bill creates a short rulemaking timeline and a technical definition for those pulse systems.
Show full summary
- Drivers and road users: Vehicles covered by FMVSS 108 would be allowed to use pulsating high-mounted stop lamps that pulse up to 4 times and for no more than 1.2 seconds before reverting to a continuous stop lamp.
- Vehicle manufacturers and lighting suppliers: Makers would get permission to design and install these systems and would have regulatory clarity once the Secretary of Transportation issues performance-based standards within 180 days.
- Standards writers and safety engineers: The bill defines a “pulsating light system” and requires a lock-out so pulses cannot repeat for at least 5 seconds after brake release, giving clear technical limits for testing and certification.
