FAIR Crash Tests Act

The FAIR Crash Tests Act (S. 2007) would require a comprehensive federal study to evaluate whether current vehicle safety testing accurately represents the physical diversity of the American public. The bill directs the Government Accountability Office to examine the crash test dummies used by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, specifically looking at whether they sufficiently account for differences in gender, age, and size. By comparing U.S. standards to international programs, the bill aims to identify gaps in safety data that could lead to more equitable protection for all drivers and passengers in the event of a collision.
