An additional $500,000 shall be made available to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for a study to identify and examine child-specific safety considerations in vehicles equipped with Automated Driving Systems, particularly those that can be operated bi-directionally and offer unconventional seating. The study should also incorporate safety considerations for child restraint system
(CRS)installation and promoting CRS usage for ride-share programs, and the risks associated with unattended child passengers in Automated Driving Systems-equipped vehicles. Upon completion of this study, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shall submit to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations a report containing its findings, including detailing how the agency is coordinating with manufacturers to ensure children are protected in vehicles equipped with Automated Driving Systems.
