NgoJulayi 12, abalawuli bezokuphepha kwezimoto baseMelika bachitha isiphakamiso sika-2019 esasizovumela abakhiqizi bezimoto ukuthi banikeze abanikazi ukukhetha kwamathoni amaningi okuxwayisa ngezimoto zikagesi nezinye “izimoto ezinomsindo omncane,” kubika abezindaba.
Ngesivinini esiphansi, izimoto zikagesi zivame ukuthula kakhulu kunezinhlobo ezisebenza ngophethiloli.Ngaphansi kwemithetho egunyazwe yiCongress futhi yaphothulwa i-US Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA), lapho izimoto eziyingxube nezikagesi zihamba ngesivinini esingeqile amamayela angu-18.6 ngehora (amakhilomitha angu-30 ngehora), abakhiqizi bezimoto kufanele bengeze kumathoni asesexwayiso ukuze bavimbele ukulimala kwabahamba ngezinyawo. , abagibeli bamabhayisikili nabantu abayizimpumputhe.
Ngo-2019, i-NHTSA ihlongoze ukuvumela abakhiqizi bezimoto ukuthi bafake amathoni ayisixwayiso abantu abahamba ngezinyawo angakhethwa umshayeli “ezimotweni ezinomsindo ophansi.”Kepha i-NHTSA ithe ngoJulayi 12 lesi siphakamiso “asizange samukelwe ngenxa yokuntuleka kwemininingwane esekelayo.Lo mkhuba uzoholela izinkampani zezimoto ukuthi zengeze imisindo engaqondakali ezimotweni zazo ehlulekayo ukuxwayisa abahamba ngezinyawo.”Lesi sikhungo sithe uma ngesivinini esiphezulu, umsindo wamasondo nokumelana nomoya kuzoba phezulu, ngakho asikho isidingo somsindo ohlukile oyisixwayiso.
Ikhredithi yesithombe: Tesla
NgoFebhuwari, uTesla wakhumbula izimoto ezingu-578,607 e-United States ngenxa yokuthi isici sayo esithi “Boombox” sasidlala umculo ophezulu noma eminye imisindo engavimbela abahamba ngezinyawo ukuba bezwe ukukhala kwezixwayiso lapho izimoto zisondela.U-Tesla uthi isici se-Boombox sivumela imoto ukuthi idlale imisindo ngezipikha zangaphandle ngenkathi ishayela futhi ingase ifihle imisindo yesistimu yokuxwayisa yabahamba ngezinyawo.
I-NHTSA ilinganisela ukuthi amasistimu okuxwayisa abahamba ngezinyawo anganciphisa ukulimala okungu-2,400 ngonyaka futhi abize imboni yezimoto cishe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-40 ngonyaka njengoba izinkampani zifaka izipikha zangaphandle ezingangeni manzi ezimotweni zazo.I-ejensi ilinganisela izinzuzo zokunciphisa ukulimala zibe $250 million kuya ku-$320 million ngonyaka.
Le nhlangano ilinganisela ukuthi izimoto ezingama-hybrid zinamathuba angu-19% okushayisana nabahamba ngezinyawo kunezimoto ezivamile ezisebenza ngophethiloli.Ngonyaka odlule, ukufa kwabahamba ngezinyawo e-US kweqe ngamaphesenti ayi-13 kuya ku-7,342, okuyinani eliphakeme kakhulu kusukela ngo-1981.Ukushona kwamabhayisikili kukhuphuke ngamaphesenti angu-5 kwaya ku-985, okuyisibalo esiphezulu kusukela okungenani ngo-1975.
