Auto Safety

Micheline Maynard is a writer for the NYT and she covers the automobile industry. I've been reading some of her articles on the recent Toyota recall. From what I have read she covers her facts well and knows what she is writing about. In her recent article In Washington, A New Appetite for Car Safety she outlines some ideas that are currently in progress to make cars safer and gives the point that since our technology is advancing everyday shouldn't our safety be too?

Clarence Ditlow is and has been the Executive Director of the Center for Auto Safety for quite some time now. He has been involved with the Firestone/Ford recall and many other automobile safety crisis's in our history. Although I cannot find any publications by him, he has been to many meetings and has had many quotes on the subject.

  1. sounds like a good topic. as a girl, I have no idea whether my car is safe or not, I just know how to drive it lol... it'll be interesting to learn more about the automobile industry. It looks like you're on the right track, good luck.
