I Built a Crash Test Dummy

Did you know that Crash Test Dummies cost over a Million Dollars each? There seem to be only two companies that produce them, and they only make around 300 of them a year. Most of the dummy is hand-made by people, I guess it’s probably not worth automating too much of the process since it’s quite a low volume production, and that would allow a faster development cycle too. The dummies are generally designed to not break these days, so they are built much toucher than humans but packed with sensors to measure pressure, torque, acceleration and so on. I’d really like to do some more dangerous things on YouTube but the videos will probably get demonitised. So I’m going to build a crash test dummy to do them for me instead. I’m going to build it out of multiple materials, with some sensing, but also with some parts that are designed to be roughly the same strength as a human – it’ll look better on video if it gets smashed up won’t it.
