Crash test dummies' human-like responses in simulated auto crashes

provide scientiest with data on the effectiveness of the latest

vehicle and safety equipment designs. Many automakers have adapted

the built-in child seats (left) designed for those who have outgrown

infant carriers. BMW soon will offer a two-part air-bag system

increase visibility during the day, GMC and several other auto

makers are adding daytime running lamps.
