The position of the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine (AAAM) in regards to Electronic Stability Control Systems.
Whereas, worldwide, single vehicle crashes represent nearly a third of all crashes with a fatal occupant injury,
Whereas, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) effectiveness studies completed in different countries and different parts of the world have found that ESC reduces the risk of occupant fatality in single vehicle crashes between 25 and 35 percent,
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine supports the installation of Electronic Stability Control Systems into every new passenger vehicle and further research into the effectiveness of ESC in other vehicles.
