The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has released a proposal, spurred by the death of a Woodbury boy, that would require all new cars starting in 2014 to have rearview cameras and interior displays to allow “a 180-degree view” of the area around a car.
The proposal would expand the Cameron Gulbransen Kids Transportation Safety Act, signed into law by President George W. Bush in February 2008. The Act was named for 2-year-old Cameron Gulbransen of Woodbury, who was hit and killed in 2002 as his father moved a family car in the driveway of their home.
