FMVSS 135 expects service brakes actuated by a foot control.
That made sense decades ago. But what about a vehicle never meant to be driven by a human?
Engineers: which other requirements still assume a driver? #AutonomousVehicles #FMVSS
Full conversation on updating FMVSS for vehicles without manual controls, with Jonathan Morrison, Administrator, @NHTSAgov, and host @gbrulte on SAE Tomorrow Today. sae.to/3W2bR6q

AI Across the Aerospace Product Lifecycle: Join Us in Bangalore
SAE International’s G-31 Committee is hosting an international conference on how AI can be used effectively across aerospace, from engineering and manufacturing to certification and sustainment, while maintaining trust, security, and traceability.
📍 Bangalore, India | 📅 November 2-3, 2026
We’re inviting manufacturers, suppliers, airlines, regulators, academia, and standards bodies to share case studies, research, and lessons learned.
The 2026 Contributor of the Year class is here!
Join us in celebrating the individuals making a difference across the SAE community. We’re looking forward to recognizing them during the Contributor of the Year celebration next month. Stay tuned!

The SAE Lighting Systems Group recently met in Scottsdale, AZ. The group consists of SAE’s ground vehicle lighting committees, bringing together members from across heavy-duty, road illumination, signaling and marking, emergency warning, test methods, materials, and international lighting standards.
In recognition of World Standards Day, we thank the OEMs, suppliers, consultants, and government representatives who contribute their time and expertise to SAE standards. Your collaboration helps move the industry forward.
From sodium-ion batteries to AI-powered safety, September brought plenty of new developments to SAE Mobilus.
A snapshot of what engineers are working on:
• Advancing battery technologies
• Applying AI to safety and engineering
• Improving simulation
Last month’s collection includes 44 Aerospace Standards, 16 Ground Vehicle Standards, 322 Technical Papers and more. sae.to/4jTYi2C
SAE S-7 Fall 2026 Plenary Meeting
The S-7 Flight Deck Handling Qualities Standards for Transport Aircraft Committee recently met at the NLR - Netherlands Aerospace Centre to update our Charter to expand the scope of the committee to more than just Transport Aircraft.
Our mission remains the same: develop standards and recommended practices that reflect the voice of the pilot in the critical, interactive, and cognitive link between pilot and aircraft, from displays and controls to automation and systems.

Celebrating 40 years of the @FoundationSAE!
For 40 years, students across the country have built and tested their own engineering designs, often in schools that had no other way to offer hands-on STEM learning experiences. This anniversary is for them, and for the teachers and volunteers who made those classrooms possible.
40 years of inspiring the next generation💙
To celebrate we’re honoring everything supporters have helped make possible and looking ahead to the students waiting for the opportunity to discover
Join us in celebrating 40 years and help build what comes next

What were the key takeaways from TMSS?
🔹AI is moving from potential to practical applications in thermal engineering
🔹Battery thermal management is increasingly critical to EV performance and safety
🔹Thermal efficiency remains a key factor in vehicle performance
From new technologies to new connections, the conversations this week offered fresh perspectives on what's ahead.
A few years ago, the industry was racing toward the same finish line: full autonomy.
That’s changed.
Rising costs, slower adoption and global competition are reshaping the road ahead. One constant? Edge AI.
Join our next Mobility Frontier webinar Oct. 13 at 11 a.m. ET to explore what’s driving the shift.
