There's a two year difference between measurements, as described in the quoted part of the above comment. Cars didn't change that much in those two years*, nor did everyone go out and buy new cars.
* Airbags were already mandated in the U. S. at that point, and though I oddly can't find a reference, I believe anti-lock brakes were mandatory at that point, too.
- saila 5y agoReading through this, it doesn't sound like ABS was required in 2009: https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/811182 https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/.... Another source says it's been required (federally) as of 2013: https://knowhow.napaonline.com/what-does-abs-mean-on-a-car/ https://knowhow.napaonline.com/what-does-abs-mean-on-a-car/.
