Flexible Cables Stand Up to Harsh Conditions in Automotive Crash Test Center

摘要

It's hard to imagine an environment that would be tougher on equipment than DaimlerChrysler's crash test center. Before it goes to the expense of crash-testing actual cars, the $ 157 billion auto maker puts car components-and dummies- through an impact simulator. These tests give the car company data on what sorts of crash scenarios it should focus on. The test center runs four tests per day, every day, beating the tar out of the passenger compartment and dumnies.
