摘要：	It's not too late for NHTSA to update its National Roadway Safety Strategy by adding inspections and advancing a more holistic approach. Artificial intelligence will not solve our country's pressing road safety problems on its own. Humans must play a role in ensuring all cars are fit to drive. Unfortunately, in this political environment that favors hyperbolic soundbites over nuanced examination of public policy, some lawmakers have opted to ignore how regular vehicle safety inspections conducted by humans save thousands of lives annually. These programs will also continue to save lives in the future, even as newer vehicles grow increasingly reliant on autonomous vehicle (AV) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) technologies. Science and data prove vehicle safety inspection programs are effective. States that run these programs experience 2.8 percent fewer roadway fatalities than those that don't. That relationship is causal, according to a national study recently published by Carnegie Mellon University. A 2018 study from the University of Texas at Austin found that the most common type of car defect related to fatal crashes is bald or defective tires. Roughly 23.5 percent of the Texas drivers surveyed for the report reported having been instructed by an inspector to fix a tire concern at some point. Given this information, you would think that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) would seek to harness this tool in its "National Roadway Safety Strategy" (NRSS), publicized in January 2022, which aims to eliminate avoidable traeedies on the road.
