All new vehicles sold from May 2022 must be fitted with advanced safety features, including:
- monitors that detect when a driver has become drowsy or distracted
- emergency stop signal to help prevent rear-end collisions
- rear-view camera or parking sensors
- alcohol interlock system to prevent drunk driving.
These systems will help reduce serious accidents on Europe’s roads.
Wait, what? _All_ new vehicles need to have this? Or do they just need to be constructed such that one can be installed easily?

The actual text:
> Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 of the European Parliament and of the Council requires motor vehicles of categories M and N to be equipped with certain advanced vehicle systems, including driver drowsiness and attention warning systems. It lays down in its Annex II basic requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to the driver drowsiness and attention warning systems.
