Polluting and safety rules loom, with 1978 Muskie standards pushing engine changes, stronger bumpers, and optional safety systems while price levels rise about $200 per new car.

In head on and near head on impacts at 40 to 60 mph, tyre barriers absorbed impact with minimal vehicle damage and no serious occupant injuries. Tests used stacked tyres anchored to ground and evaluated by University of Cincinnati researchers.
