Since the topic comes up here pretty regualarly, I thought this article was pretty interesting. It doesn't mention five steeping but I think it is clearly related. It seems like the car industry is trying to rectify the problem.

I see women all the time who clearly do not fit correctly in the seats, seatbelts. Many women also have to sit inches away from the airbag in the steering wheel to be able to reach the pedals.

My lap belt fits well in both my vehicles. My shoulder belt fits decently (not great, but acceptably) if I can force it to lie between my breasts. But it always climbs up and over and rides on my neck. I'm 5'5", so pretty average for a woman, and a 38F.

The adult female dummy appears to have perky and separated breasts and is maybe a B-cup at most (5", 110#). We need a dummy who's got a few years under her nursing bra.

To drive..I have to be dangerously close to the steering wheel.
I'm 4'11.
