Automotive Safety and Test Dummies: A look under the hood

Join Auto Innovators and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety to learn more about how automakers, suppliers, and safety researchers use test dummies to support safety innovation, and learn about the future of safety testing.

Lunch will be provided.

Thanks to our partners at Nissan, attendees will have a rare opportunity to see two female crash test dummies side by side: the Hybrid III, the current standard used by NHTSA in NCAP/federal safety testing, and the THOR 5th, which NHTSA is considering for future federal testing.
