Joshua gets a no-prize smashed into very scientific bits for bringing us this look at Volvo's new crash test center. Think of an upscaled atom smasher, with cars as the atoms. Oh, and it seems nearly every part of the thing is mounted on air bearings, allowing it to be reconfigured at will.
As I understand it, the auto industry shares safety research data, so things discovered here will potentially help us all, even if we don't buy a Volvo.
