In his veto, Gov. Gavin Newsom highlighted that federal law already sets vehicle safety standards and additional state rules could create conflicting regulations. He stated, 'We risk confusing the public and imposing duplicative requirements on manufacturers when we should let federal evaluations take the lead in enhancing road safety.' His concern reflects the complexities that arise in policymaking when states try to impose unique measures that diverge from national standards.
Opponents to the bill voiced their concerns, noting it could distract drivers and increase car costs. A representative from the auto industry commented, 'While the intention behind the legislation is to improve safety, it could inadvertently lead to drivers ignoring the beeping system or becoming overly reliant on it, which defeats its purpose of promoting attentiveness on the road.'
