Safety advances that save lives.
From designs and innovations that can help protect occupants in a crash to on-board technologies that help drivers avoid a crash, the automobile industry is constantly striving to improve motor vehicle and traffic safety.
The U.S. Department of Transportation released a report in 2015 calling innovations by car manufacturers a “revolution in safety.” Road safety is a shared responsibility between governments, industry, non–governmental organizations and road users. Focusing on behavioral issues is critical to enhancing road safety, including encouraging safety belt use, raising awareness of risks from distracted driving and preventing impaired driving. Working together with all stakeholders, the Auto Alliance is addressing the nation’s most pressing road safety concerns.
