Well, we’ve had cars for a long time….but finally we’ll be testing them for safety for women, too.

In a sea of bad news, today this got me excited.

    People come in a lot of shapes and sizes. I kind of always assumed that crash test dummies would also come in a variety of sizes to test. I’m a bit shocked that we’re just now getting to the “average adult woman” dummy model, considering I’m a statistical outlier in terms of size. But thinking about it now, that does explain a lot of the ergonomics of the cars I’ve driven.
