Mission: reduce preventable deaths and injuries from crashes involving disabled vehicles

WASHINGTON, DC – Alliance for Automotive Innovation today announced safety technology innovator Emergency Safety Solutions (ESS) has joined the organization’s roster of auto manufacturers, suppliers, advanced battery manufacturers, autonomous vehicle producers and semiconductor makers.
