Hot car deaths in 2019 surpass national average
Despite numerous warnings and national news stories on hot car deaths, children are dying of vehicular heatstroke at a staggering rate. Forty children have died after being left alone in a hot vehicle so far in 2019, according to the National Safety Council.
These alerts could be a combination of “auditory and visual alerts” that will turn on after the driver turns off the vehicle. The auto industry has committed, according to the auto alliance, to have a rear seat alert system in place in “essentially” all new cars and trucks by model year 2025. “Automakers took a step in the right direction Wednesday, adding another layer of protection against these tragedies,” the council said in a statement. “Automakers should move fast on their commitment and continue to collaborate on additional protections that can be provided to all our drivers.”
“This is an outrageous attempt by the automakers to avoid an enforceable safety standard,” Joan Claybrook, former administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said in a news release. “They should have added detection systems to their vehicles decades ago when auto manufacturers told all parents to move their children to the back seat due to the decision of some automakers to install overpowered airbags.
