Description: General Motors has opened a new $10 million rollover crash testing facility in Michigan. GM officials say the premise of the facility is to reduce the number of rollover-related injuries and deaths by developing sensors for airbags. An estimated 2 percent of all crashes involve rollovers, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. From this 2 percent, an estimated 10,000 people die annually, a number that comprises 40 percent of all automotive crash fatalities a year. Almost 200 crash tests a year are expected to occur at this new facility, which is the first plant of its kind to be owned by an automaker.

Jubbbbb ::: Favorites MORON! Do you honestly believe GM invented ABS or ESP?. Bosch invented ABS (acronym anti-lock braking system)in 1978 and was first introduced by Mercedes-Benz. ESP (acronym for electronic stability control)was inventing again by Bosch in 1995 and again Mercedes had it on their cars first. Stabili Trak is just a stupid name for ESP made up by GM's marketing department. ESP also goes by many, many other names depending on the manufacturer. 07-05-19 06:14:07 _____________________________________________________
