It could encourage manufacturers to turn often-optional but highly profitable safety systems into standard technology. It would also increase the average price of a new car.<\/p>\n<p>New test dummies have improved sensors to better predict injuries.<\/p>\n<p>NHSTA will include a new frontal-oblique crash test to address what they describe as a type of angled crash &#8220;that continues to result in death and serious injuries despite seat belt use, air bags and crashworthy structures.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The 5-Star ratings have set the bar on safety since it began in 1978, and today we are raising that bar,&#8221; said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx in a statement to The Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. regulators are revising the process of assigning safety ratings to new vehicles.
