Wrong Turn [Abstract]

This evening, network news heralded a decision by the Transportation Department to require ESC, electronic stability control, on all new cars by the year 2012. Until now, this feature has been available only as a costly option, mostly on upscale models. This sounds like great news, doesn't it. That's how it was reported. Imagine how many fewer accidents there will be when drivers have greater control of their cars in emergency situations. Insurance companies must be ecstatic. . . .
