Automotive Safety
This guide lists relevant sources of information on automotive
safety. Automotive safety may be divided into the areas of accident
avoidance and mitigation of injuries. Accident avoidance includes
all measures that serve to prevent accidents. The mitigation
of injuries includes all measures that help to reduce injuries
during accidents. Not intended to be a comprehensive bibliography,
this compilation is designed--as the name of the series implies--to
put the reader "on target."
