Government Suggests Carmakers Talk To Doctors
from the berating-the-obvious? dept
I have to admit that the following report made me wonder about a few things. It's the news that a government appointed group, the Intelligent Transportation Society of America, has suggested to automobile manufacturers that perhaps they should talk to doctors when designing their various emergency systems. So, my first response to this was, "well, duh!" Why, exactly, do we need a government appointed group to suggest what appears to be incredibly obvious? However, then, the second (vaguely horrifying) thought wave came along and said "you mean automakers don't do this already?" Exactly what have carmakers been relying on in designing the emergency systems for their cars?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
