South Korea’s transport ministry is mandating that carmakers add an array of advanced safety features to passenger vehicles beginning January 2019, the Yonhap News Agency reports.
By then all new cars must be equipped with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning systems and rear pedestrian detectors. Similar standards will apply to midsize trucks, effective July 2021.
The country’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport says the revisions are intended to reduce crashes related to drowsy driving, according to Yonhap. It notes that large commercial trucks and special-purpose vehicles that weigh more than 20 tons currently are required to have emergency braking and lane departure warning systems.
