Did you know that those 5 star safety crash tests do not apply to women drivers? NHTSA bases these crash tests on an "average" male and ignores women that have a different skeletal structure and physiology. But don't worry NHTSA is still researching the issue... of whether women drive? No idea why they are wasting time on this as better crash test dummy technology exists that could make cars safer for everyone.
This week Beth Brooke from VERITY Now (https://www.veritynow.org) joins us to explain more about the issue and how NHTSA could solve the problem today.Plus Recall Roundup and Fred discusses the metallurgy for stainless steel in terms of the Cybertruck.
