Auto Industry to Create More Safety Devices in Cars
| TOPIC: | The federal government requested last week that the auto industry try to create new vehicles that will help drivers drive more safely, said a report by CNN.com. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, allegedly more than three quarters of all accidents are due to driver error. By creating more devices for all types of cars, such as improved night vision and high-tech cruise control, which can only be found in the most expensive cars, transportation experts hope that the number of accidents will decline. |
