California’s Attorney General Bill Lockyer has recently filed suit against six of the largest car manufacturers in the US for the billions of dollars in damages caused by greenhouse gases emitted by their vehicles, according to a report from Reuters.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has proposed regulations that would require automakers to install electronic stability control in cars, sport-utility vehicles, minivans and pickups. At the moment stability control comes as standard equipment on many high-end cars but is either optional — at a cost of $300 to $800, or not available at all in others. Once approved, the federal rules are expected to take effect with the 2009 model year and to be phased in over three years.
