Smarter cars mean safer roads.
From 7 July 2026, all new passenger cars and vans across the EU must have these life-saving systems:
🔸Advanced emergency brake detecting pedestrians and cyclists
🔹Advanced driver distraction warning system
🔸Better forward vision
🔹New tests for worn tyres
🔸Expanded safety glass area designed to protect pedestrians during accidents

What the list should have contained:
1. Better infrastructure separating cyclists from cars.
2. Lower speed limits or no cars in dense populated areas.
3. What does this even mean?
4. Mandatory car test once per year like here in Sweden, tires included.
5. New safety standard for cars with external airbags for pedestrians/cyclists.
6. Stop making cars another always connected surveillance tool! Both for national security and individual privacy is this a really bad idea.
