The Evolution of Crash Testing

Crash testing is crucial for car safety, evolving from simple tests in the 1950s to sophisticated methods today. Early tests used eggs to demonstrate the need for seat belts, leading to the development of the 3-point belt by Nils Bohlin. Modern testing employs crash test dummies, contributing to innovations like airbags and side impact protection.

Why did Volvo decide to test their belt system in more realistic conditions?
