Senator Gonzalez's legislation mandates crash reporting requirements for manufacturers of vehicles equipped with Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in California. Under the measure, manufacturers must report crashes involving ADAS-equipped vehicles to the Department of Motor Vehicles within one day if the incident results in fatalities, hospitalizations, or impacts vulnerable road users. Crashes involving vehicle tow-aways or airbag deployments require reporting within five days.
The Department of Motor Vehicles would publish crash data on its website bi-monthly and transmit the information to federal transportation safety agencies. The bill prohibits the disclosure of proprietary business information and personally identifiable details in public postings. Manufacturers face civil penalties of $26,315 per violation per day for failing to submit required crash reports.
The reporting requirements take effect only if federal regulations under NHTSA's Standing General Order 2021-01 are repealed without replacement, substantially amended, or cease to be enforced in a manner consistent with their original policy goals. The DMV Director must notify legislative transportation committee chairs in writing upon making this determination.
