CT: There has been tremendous progress in vehicle safety in the past few decades. Improvements in seat belts, air bags, visibility and lighting have dramatically reduced road deaths in the USA. The fatality rate per 100 million vehicles miles travelled fell from 5.5 to 1.8 from the mid 1960’s to 1992. Recent developments include collision warning systems, adaptive cruise control, and infrared vision enhancement, all of which were announced as features in light vehicles in the U.S. market in the last year of the millennium.
