For automotive enthusiasts, the North American Auto International Show, which began on Monday in Detroit, is an exciting glimpse into the future of performance, styling, and safety. For NHTSA, it’s our opportunity to visit with industry leaders and reinforce with them our commitment to the safety of the American public and to personally tell auto executives how we will approach our mission of saving lives and preventing injuries.

As the Administrator of NHTSA, I got a sneak preview into displays at the show that will soon open to the public. I was impressed with the new safety technologies that the industry is bringing into their fleets and excited for their lifesaving potential. With 32,719 highway fatalities in 2013, and scores more injuries, NHTSA continues to press to bring greater safety advances into the fleet because doing so will mean more families will be spared the tragedy of losing a loved one to a motor vehicle crash.
