Description

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administrationäó»s (NHTSAäó»s) mission is to save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce the economic costs due to traffic crashes. As such, NHTSA is responsible for overseeing vehicle safety, a task made more challenging by the increasingly complex electronics and software used in todayäó»s vehicles. NHTSAäó»s oversight faces greater scrutiny after a series of high-profile vehicle recalls that highlighted deficiencies with NHTSAäó»s safety-defect investigation processes. This report addresses: (1) challenges identified for NHTSAäó»s oversight of safety defects; (2) NHTSAäó»s implementation of a new information technology (IT) system for safety-defect investigations; and (3) how NHTSA is addressing new technologies in its oversight of vehicle safety, among other things. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
