DRiV Automotive: 0.6 TCR = 11% of Shock absorbers, automotive, truck, and bus, manufacturing BLS 5.4 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

DRiV Automotive safety composite

DRiV Automotive scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 93% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
