IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety)

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is an independent organization that tests and evaluates the safety of vehicles through crash tests and safety assessments. Its goal is to reduce injuries and fatalities on the road by providing consumers with accurate safety ratings. The IIHS examines how well vehicles protect occupants, pedestrians, and other road users in various crash scenarios, and it also assesses features like crash prevention systems. Automotive manufacturers use these ratings to improve vehicle safety, helping drivers make informed decisions and encouraging the production of safer cars.
