Nominee for top auto safety regulator vows to "prioritize" tougher vehicle seat standards
CBSN
The Biden Administration's nominee to be the nation's top auto safety regulator pledged to "prioritize" replacing the outdated federal strength standard for vehicle seats that's been the focus of a six-year CBS News investigation.
"CBS put a spotlight on this problem," Senator Ed Markey (D–Mass.), said while questioning Dr. Steven Cliff, who's been tapped to be the next National Highway Traffic Safety Administrator. "I think it's important for us to get it done put safety first once and for all."
Cliff responded during his confirmation hearing Thursday, "If confirmed, I will prioritize the leadership you've provided to advance rulemaking."
