• Abstract:
  This report presents findings of an initial study of how the automobile industry has responded to the promulgation of motor vehicle standards by the U.S. goverment. The report examines three safety standards as evaluative cases: MVS 203--Steering column impact; MVSS 212--Windshield mounting, and MVSS 215--Exterior protection. The industry responses to the standards are discussed; there is an evaluation of the effects of the standards on industry; an analysis is made of the role of government in the promulgation process. There are conclusions and recommendations for further research. /Author/
