    I’m glad they are doing this, but I’d like them to focus on survivability for people not in vehicles. 2 giant SUVs hit each other, I’m glad everyone survived. (If they do). That doesn’t mean anything about hitting other objects/pedestrians/animals/etc.

    If your device is 40% more likely to kill a pedestrian, then it should cost 40% more of insurance/registration no matter who the driver is.

    Honestly, about time.

    The scaled-up child/scaled-down man dummy that’s been used for ages is not a good representation of female anatomy.

    Hope it goes into use.

    Wow, this is legitimately the most surprising thing to occur under this administration.

    Mamdani must have really had an effect

        Yeah, not sure why this is taken as a fundamental change in policy rather than just an oversight.

      Mamdani had his meeting 2 days ago while this has surely been in development for years. They either overlooked this particular project, or thought it unimportant enough to not bother with. It has nothing to do with the meeting.

    Legitimately surprised the government endorsed it and didn’t call it DEI.
