This project examines new scientific and technical approaches to road safety pioneered in 1960s and 1970s Britain. It explores experiments at the government's Road Research Laboratory (RRL) and elsewhere, into driverless cars, anti-lockbraking, seat belts and anti-pollution work. Two main collections are involved: objects and documentation at the Science Museum; and the papers of the RRL, Ministry of Transport and DSIR at the National Archives. These will illuminate ourunderstanding of the technical development of road safety and the relationship of state, science and the motor industry at a turning point in Britain's love affair with the car.

该项目审查了1960年代和1970年代英国开创的道路安全新科学和技术方法。它探索了政府道路研究实验室（RRL）和其他地方的实验，涉及无人驾驶汽车、防抱死制动、安全带和反污染工作。两个主要收藏品：科学博物馆的实物和文献;国家档案馆的RRL、交通部和DSIR的文件。这些将阐明我们对道路安全技术发展的理解，以及国家、科学和汽车工业之间的关系，这是英国对汽车的热爱的转折点。
