And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.

This actually surprises me.

I didn't know that car companies weren't doing this.

According to this, for the first time ever, American car companies will soon be required

to test vehicle safety using dummies that are representative

of women. I'll let you go ahead and write your own jokes with that line. But the Transportation

Secretary, Sean Duffy, unveiled an advanced female crash test dummy, the Thor-05F,, that could help close the staggering gap of higher injury

rates for women than for men in certain crash scenarios.

So this lady Maria Weston Coon, who has launched the nonprofit drive action fund to advocate for better

car safety testing for women, experienced the statistical issue herself when she sustained

life-altering injuries in a car crash several years ago. Yeah, horrible. According to this,

recent studies have found that women are 73%

likelier to be seriously injured in head-on car crashes compared with men in the same crashes.

And female drivers and front seat passengers are 17% likelyer to be killed than their male counterparts in the same seats.

Wow.

Those are incredible numbers.

Now, we are so concerned these car companies.

They're going to start testing with Thor until, you know, 2027 or 28.

What are we doing?

It takes that long to get the crash test dummies involved.

I realize, you know, it's a state-of-the-art female crash test dummy.
