"What we're trying to do is prevent (protect) the most precious cargo, the people. Right? And that's what the systems are designed for. That's why we're really proud to have some of those top safety ratings in the industry.”- Jennifer Morrison, Director, Vehicle Safety Strategy at Mazda Most of us don’t think about vehicle safety until something goes wrong. That’s a problem. Because the real work of safety happens long before impact. In this episode of The Canary Report: Safety & Risk Management , I sit down with Jennifer Morrison , Director of Vehicle Safety Strategies at Mazda North America , to talk about what it really takes to prevent crashes—not just investigate them. With two decades of experience at the NTSB and NHTSA, Jennifer brings a powerful perspective on why affordability should never mean compromising protection. We unpack how data is proving that technologies like automatic emergency braking prevent up to 60% of rear-end crashes, why making blind spot monitoring standard is a leadership decision, not a luxury one, and how regulators, manufacturers, and human drivers intersect at highway speeds. If you care about fleet safety, workplace risk, or the people riding in your car, this conversation is for you. How to shift from reactive crash investigation to proactive safety strategy Why making safety standard, not optional, is both a moral and business imperative The connected vehicle data advantage that most companies aren't leveraging How to exceed compliance without becoming compliance-obsessed Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) vs. autonomous vehicles The overlooked intersection of occupational and vehicle safety Jennifer Morrison is the Director of Vehicle Safety Strategies at Mazda North America Operations, bringing over two decades of expertise in crash investigation, regulatory compliance, and automotive safety innovation. With a background spanning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and 15 years as a highway crash investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), Jennifer has witnessed firsthand the real-world impact of safety failures and the life-saving potential of prevention. At Mazda, she leads the company's vision for a no-fatalities society by 2040, spearheading the deployment of crash avoidance technologies, occupant protection systems, and evidence-based safety strategies that exceed federal minimums.

Jennifer Morrison, Mazda safety engineer and Director of North America Safety Strategy, joins Ryan and Keith to discuss the significant advancements in automotive safety features over the years, highlighting the evolution from basic safety measures to the incorporation of multiple airbags and advanced sensors in modern vehicles. Jennifer's enthusiasm and dedication to saving lives is infectious as we get a sneak peak at the secret sauce that keeps Mazda one of the top brands for safety with the most IIHS+ Safety Picks of any brand, tied with Hyundai who just caught up. While engineers have made great strides in creating better and better crash worthiness, the person behind the wheel is key to future declines in fatalities and injuries.

Instead of Freaky Friday this week, we're bringing you A Conversation with The Hero Maker Podcast. Hosted by Jennifer Morrison, Vermont’s Commissioner of Public Safety, and Andrea Shreeman, a Writer/Director/Executive Producer in Los Angeles, their show centers around the 1988 murders of their college friends Rachael Raver and Warren Fulton III. Rachael and Warren's killer was Alfredo Prieto, a serial rapist and murderer who was convicted of just one murder before DNA evidence linked him to 8 others across the country. Through conversations with those involved in the case as well as outside experts, Jen and Andrea hope to distill wisdom from law enforcement, public safety, and criminal justice professionals for their audience. We talk with them about their journey from college classmates to starting the show, the impact of true crime media on policy change, how sudden violent acts change so many of those involved, the healing power of sharing stories, and so much more.
