The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is introducing a new female crash test dummy to enhance vehicle safety for women drivers.

This dummy is designed to match a woman's body shape and reactions, assisting car manufacturers in studying the effectiveness of seat belts and airbags for female drivers.

Senators advocated for this change following a University of Virginia study, which found that women in seat belts face a greater risk of injury compared to men.

The introduction of this new dummy aims to address these safety disparities and improve overall vehicle safety standards.
