General Motors may have gone through a teeny tiny bankruptcy
problem, but that doesn't mean it's behind the times. The American
motor maker's just unveiled its latest crash test dummies -- or
anthropomorphic testing devices, to give them their highfalutin title
-- which are capable of beaming out status reports 10,000 times per
second. Equipped with 70 to 80 sensors each, the new family of test
devices spans a wide range of potential passengers, from fully grown
males to toddlers, though it is slightly disappointing to see they all
have washboard abs and perfect posture. Come now, GM, we'd hardly call
a race of perfectly sculpted drones that can speak fast enough to
converse with a hummingbird representative. Video and the full press
release can be found after the break.
