About us
The ASC was founded in 1962 as the American Seat Belt Council to assist in establishing uniform production and quality standards for seat belts. With the introduction of airbags, the name was changed to Automotive Occupant Restraints Council (AORC) in 1988 to better represent its diverse membership. In 2011, the organization became the Automotive Safety Council as the membership expanded to include suppliers of Acive Safety products which include braking and steering systems that, when coupled with advanced sensors, prevent accidents. The organization is international and includes manufacturers and suppliers of airbags, airbag components, seat belts, automotive seating and interior safety components, child seats, braking systems, steering systems and electronics. Nearly 90 percent of the Active, Passive, Child and Interiors safety industry manufacturers and suppliers are ASC members. The Council now speaks for the industry, representing its interests and presenting its views on any and all national and international levels. The Council and its members have been active in promoting safety through numerous activities including saved by the belt, saved by the bag, click it or ticket, state seat belt laws, technology fairs, annual technology meetings, child seat installation demonstrations and training, children in the back seat campaign and many more. The mission of the Automotive Safety Council is to improve the safety of people through out the world through the development, production and implementation of the latest automotive safety equipment by preventing accidents, protecting occupants and pedestrians when in a collision and to notify emergency responders after the collision when necesssary. The mission utilizes voluntary, regulatory and legislative directed use of these life saving products in order to make it available to the most people in the lowest cost manner to save the most people from injuries and fatalities.

At the recent InCabin USA interior vehicle technology expo, Susan Shaw, Ford Motor's customer research lead, raised a critical issue that affects us all: the lack of standardized symbols and acronyms for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) across automakers. This inconsistency is causing confusion among drivers and could potentially lead to accidents. Shaw, who also serves on SAE's controls and display standards committee, emphasized the pressing need for industry-wide standardization. She pointed out the multiple acronyms for lane warnings as a prime example of how varied terminologies can bewilder drivers. As we continue to innovate and integrate advanced technologies into our vehicles, let's prioritize clarity and safety for all drivers. What are your thoughts on the need for standardized ADAS symbols and acronyms? Share your insights below! 👇 Read More:

The Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association (AVIA), representing innovative companies like Waymo, Cruise, and UPS, celebrates the recent withdrawal of California Senate Bill 915. This bill aimed to allow cities the authority to regulate and fine autonomous vehicles for traffic violations. While the bill intended to increase local control, many believed it could have impeded the progress of developing safer, more efficient transportation solutions. AVIA remains committed to advancing autonomous vehicle technology to create a safer and more reliable future for all road users. 🚀 Read More Here:

🚗🤖 **Autonomous Vehicles: A Safer Future with Room for Improvement** A recent study by the University of Central Florida examining U.S. car accident data from 2016 to 2022 has revealed fascinating insights into the safety of autonomous vehicles (AVs). The findings show that AVs are generally safer than human-driven cars under most conditions. However, they face more challenges in poor weather, during dawn or dusk, and while making turns. Hussain Dia, a professor of future urban mobility at Swinburne University in Australia, emphasizes, "There are still teething problems [with AVs], and I would prefer they were worked out in confined environments rather than public roads because once you have accidents, public confidence goes down." As we look towards a future with increased AV adoption, it's clear that continuous testing and improvement are crucial. Ensuring these systems are robust in all conditions is key to gaining public trust and achieving safer roads for everyone. Read More Here:

The Alliance for Automotive Innovation is calling for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to reconsider certain elements of a rule mandating that new vehicles begin including automated emergency braking systems. The group says compliance with the rule will be "practically impossible with available technology" and that vehicles that meet the standard "will become unpredictable, erratic and will frustrate or flummox drivers."
