Abstract

The article focuses on several aspects of making automobiles safer for women. It mentions that an average adult female crash test dummy simply does not exist, despite the fact that women obviously drive to work and take road trips. It mentions that 5th percentile female dummy either rides as a passenger or does not participate in the test in frontal crash tests performed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
