CAS Actions

Presentation to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

Clarence M. Ditlow, Executive Director
Center for Auto Safety

The Center for Auto Safety has generally advocated that crashworthiness and occupant restraint are the most critical areas in which the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration should regulate and issue consumer information. Nevertheless, we agree that new developments in electronics, computer systems and sensors offer major opportunities for crash avoidance.
