YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAutomotive crash test dummies are born in Ohio, brought to “life” near Detroit, and then sent around the world to make cars safer.
They’re not just mannequins — they’re engineered to move, bend, and feel force like real human bodies. Packed with sensors, these dummies help researchers understand what happens to us in a crash, again and again, so safety ratings can save real lives.
