Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving road safety. It conducts research and tests on vehicles to assess their safety performance in crashes. The IIHS evaluates how well cars and trucks protect occupants and pedestrians, publishing ratings that help consumers make informed decisions when purchasing vehicles. Their findings aim to encourage manufacturers to enhance vehicle safety features and promote safer driving practices, ultimately reducing road fatalities and injuries. Through education and advocacy, the IIHS influences automotive safety standards and public policy.
