Many developing countries have lax vehicle safety standards. Around the world, road crashes kill an estimated 1.3 million people each year and injure up to 50 million. There, automakers — including U.S. and European companies — routinely sell cars without many of the basic safety protections that are standard here at home.

The result: An awful lot of people are being killed in crashes that, in the U.S. and Europe, they would likely survive.
