This issue of the Status Report looks at how long it takes a new safety feature will be present in the majority of vehicles on our highways actually incorporate these features. One example is front air bags which were first introduced in the mid - 1980's and it is estimated that they will reach the 95% inclusion level in 2016.

Bumper mis-match is also included in this issue. Simply modifications to truck and SUV bumpers could safe a significant amount of money by reducing the costs of collision repair if bumper heights of all vehicles matched.
