...this collision, and the others that occurred before and after it, have demonstrated that a more reliable safeguard that the human nervous system is needed. The CAA tracking system relies on manual posting of each plane's position on a map, and cannot possibly control all flights.

The reason is "price packing," the skilled and corrupt art by which some dealers boost the cost of accessories-from map lights to automatic transmissions-until the car's price is several hundred dollars over list.
