However, the U.S. DOT has not yet required occupant detection and alert systems minimizing these tragedies.  Currently, some form of occupant detection has been introduced, but no alert systems yet to as be finalized in the Act.  The national average for hot car deaths is at 38, yet these are only documented cases.  Sadly, these numbers could be higher as some cases were not accounted for.  See the following link below for additional details.<\/p>
