Title: Rear Convex Cross-View Mirrors 
Abstract: This rulemaking would upgrade the rearward visibility of commercial straight trucks. The agency believes that requiring a rear detection system will reduce fatalities, injuries, and property damage by giving truck operators the ability to detect objects behind the truck. Various possible counter-measures are being examined now in follow-up testing, including visual and non-visual object detection systems. This action will be withdrawn. After further research is completed and evaluated, the agency will determine what further action is warranted.
