  Excellent idea. However, dumbing down the idea of how these ratings actually work so the common man, deficient of degrees in mechanical engineering, might understand them correctly, would prove very difficult.

  First of all, the RTO office needs to set up a standardized wind dedicated to test safety of Automobiles. That should be centralized and applicable to all. And that rating can later be used as a compulsory supplement information in publicity material. And why RTO because it will be government controlled. Not something private organisation. If you raise question about biased result and corruption and all in that sector, then that cannot be ever justified. We expect fair results. That's all.

  I am not at all biased against private organisations. Its just that the possibility of private organisations getting sidetracked and giving out poor judgement is higher as compared to autonomous or government controlled organisations.

  If private companies give out poor judgement, they lose consumer confidence and business. Not so for government organizations.
  
  Not to be sidetracked, I again insist that the idea of making companies publish their crash test ratings is great. Are you sure it is not being done anywhere at all?
