Energy-absorbing materials that meet the head-impact upgrade of FMVSS No. 201 reduce AIS 4-to-6 head injuries due to contact with upper-interior components by an estimated 24 percent. When all vehicles on the road meet FMVSS No. 201, it will save an estimated 1,087 to 1,329 lives per year. It is a very cost-effective regulation, costing less than $1 million per life saved.
