In order to investigate the cause of the traffic accident in detail, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has decided to oblige new cars to equip passenger cars with a device that records the accelerator operation status and speed changes, and will soon take steps to revise safety standards. I will start.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is considering vehicle safety measures together with experts because traffic accidents will not occur.
In the last year, 2839 people died and more than 27,000 were seriously injured.
On the 28th, we proposed new measures to this study group.
According to this, passenger cars are required to be equipped with a device that records the operating status of the accelerator, wearing a seatbelt, and changing the speed every 1 / 100th of a second.
Records are to be kept at least twice, such as when an airbag is activated.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism will continue to solicit public comments in public comments next month, starting with procedures for amending the safety standards of the Road Transport Vehicle Law, and will apply it to new models from July next year at the earliest.
