Dummies have been used in crash tests for new vehicles since the 1970s, according toBBC News.
And while the dummies have been used for decades, advances in the crash dummies have been somewhat stagnant.
A standard crash test dummy is scaled to mirror the height and weight of the average male.
This change can help car manufacturers design seats that protect both men and women during a crash.
Unfortunately, there is currently no law stating that a manufacturer must test on both male and female dummies.
