Vehicle Safety Testing
Vehicle Safety Testing is a process that evaluates how well a vehicle protects its occupants during a crash. This testing includes various assessments, such as crash tests, where vehicles are deliberately crashed into barriers or other vehicles to measure the impact on passengers. The results help manufacturers improve safety features like seat belts, airbags, and structural integrity.
Organizations like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Euro NCAP conduct these tests and provide ratings to inform consumers. Higher ratings indicate better safety performance, guiding buyers in making informed decisions about which vehicles offer the best protection on the road.
