摘要

Delegates at the world conference on road safety in Brasilia in November had a chance to try out the latest devices, such as automatic emergency braking systems. Outside the conference venue, they would have had a hard time finding such lifesavers. Latin America's transport regulators are at least a decade behind those of developed countries in mandating safety equipment for cars. But they are making progress. The death rate on the region's roads is high: the safest Latin American countries are three times more dangerous than Switzerland. But drivers have little interest in safer cars, and sellers lobby governments not to require them. For consumers newly promoted to the middle class, air-bags and anti-lock braking systems (abs) seem like luxuries. Cars equipped with such devices typically come with fripperies like sunroofs and leather seats. In Mexico, a Chevrolet Aveo with front-seat air-bags costs $3,000 more than a pared-down version, the country's bestselling car. That model recently had the lowest possible score in a crash test conducted by Latin ncap, a group that promotes car safety.
