A Detroit report from a Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory study of over 18 thousand accidents finds power steering cars more often collide with objects, show more rear end crashes, and more right front impacts. Researchers note no clear verdict on danger level and cite possible road condition explanations.
The report notes that on divided highways accidents are more common with manually steered cars at 20.1 percent, while intersection crashes show 30.2 percent for manual steering. Power steering correlates with heavier vehicles and drivers averaging 34.6 years versus 32.4 for manual steering, and includes a note on Captain Kidd as the son of a Scottish minister.
