As of 2020, NHTSA no longer records data regarding the vehicle size of passenger cars.

Starting with the release of 2021 FARS and CRSS data, all vehicle-related analysis for 2020 and later years will be based on Product Information Catalog and Vehicle Listing (vPIC) vehicle classification. As a result, the 2020 and later-year vehicle type classifications are not comparable to 2019 and earlier-year vehicle type classifications. This change affects any analysis with a vehicle component to it. More information on vPIC can be found at https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/.

Starting in 2022, Pedalcyclist includes people on motorized bicycles.
