The Prisoner's Dilemma and Vehicle Safety Some Policy Implications

Using the classic prisoner's dilemma framework in game theory, this paper argues that the current emphasis on occupant protection may result in a pareto inferior outcome. Shifting the relative emphasis from increasing occupant protection to non-aggressiveness of a vehicle, however, is likely to improve the environmental quality as well as reducing the road trauma. © The London School of Economics and the University of Bath 2002
