Transport Canada presented ACPE research testing comparing three vehicles-2025 Tesla Model 3, 2025 Subaru Forester, and 2025 Toyota Crown Signia-against UN R175 minimum performance requirements and real-world pedal misapplication crashes. Analysis of 14 EDR data cases revealed none would require ACPE intervention under current R175 criteria. Testing included UN R175 procedures and recreation of six real-world crash scenarios. Proposed 2026 research includes investigating radar signatures of wall structures, obstacle distances exceeding 1.5 metres, accelerator pedal application rates and travel, and false positive test procedures.
