NTSB frustrated over lack of action on collision avoidance systems for vehicles
“You don’t pay extra for your seatbelt”
For the 12th time in two decades, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has recommended that collision avoidance systems become standard on all new passenger and commercial vehicles -- and released a report that outlined the life-saving benefits of the technology, which is currently available.
The progress on these recommendations has been "very limited," according to the NTSB. The report notes that a lack of incentives and limited public awareness has stunted the wide adoption of collision avoidance technology.
