Fuel Economy
• Fleet shift to smaller vehicles will increase compatibility challenges
• Alignment of structures per Voluntary Agreement will help increase compatibility in North America
• Structural enhancements (e.g., adaptive structures) can help reduce the impact of downsizing and weight reduction

Small Vehicle Safety Challenges
• Smaller vehicles, in general: are lighter and have less crush space
have lower structural height
experience higher accelerations than larger vehicles in multi-vehicle accidents
• Therefore, the challenge for the safety community is to: continuously improve safety by democratization of
safety technologies (e.g., airbags, ESC, etc)
make newer technologies affordable for small vehicles

Safety Technology Trends
Levels of autonomous safety features for driver assistance/accident avoidance and crash protection will increase due to:
Increasing computing power
Faster algorithms
Advanced sensor capabilities
Lower sensing costs
Advanced electrical chassis systems
