Article Abstract:
Design variations in rental cars pose potential dangers to the renters and the traveling public at large because of the different placements of vital instruments such as horns, headlights, high-low beam and seat-belt clasps. Automobile manufacturers should develop a single standard for rental cars to elevate the levels of safety in such vehicles. However, only features that are to be used in emergency situations need to be standardized. Other switches and equipment, such as cruise control, should not be included.
