Vehicle safety standards are regulations set by governments and organizations to ensure that vehicles are designed and manufactured to protect occupants and reduce the risk of accidents. These standards cover various aspects, including crashworthiness, braking performance, and visibility. Compliance with these standards helps manufacturers create safer vehicles for consumers. In many countries, such as the United States and European Union, vehicles must undergo rigorous testing to meet safety requirements before they can be sold. Organizations like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) evaluate vehicles and provide ratings based on their safety performance.
