Airbags and automatic seatbelts ordered for all cars
Transportation Secretary Brock Adams announced that airbags or automatic seatbelts will be mandatory in all new cars by 1984. Beginning with 1982 models luxury and full size cars must have protection for front-seat occupants, with intermediate and compact lines following in 1983, and sub-compacts in 1984. The move aims to reduce roughly 47,000 deaths and 400,000 injuries annually.
