vehicle safety testing

Vehicle safety testing evaluates how well a car protects occupants and minimizes injury during crashes. Tests include crash simulations such as frontal, side, and rollover impacts, using crash test dummies to measure forces on the body. Other assessments check for proper safety features like airbags, seatbelts, and crash avoidance systems. Vehicles are awarded safety ratings based on their performance, helping consumers make informed choices. These tests are conducted by organizations like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Euro NCAP, ensuring vehicles meet safety standards and enhance overall road safety.
