Honda Motor Co. will improve the safety of its cars through realistic crash tests involving multiple cars colliding at various angles, Hiroyuki Yoshino, president of the major Japanese automaker, said Wednesday.
"Automakers must strive for traffic safety in the real world," he said. Yoshino made the comment at a press conference at the Honda R&D Center in the town of Haga, Tochigi Prefecture, where Honda unveiled its indoor omnidirectional Real World Crash Test Facility.
The new facility allows for car-to-car crash tests from all directions. In line with its efforts to improve safety technologies, Honda also unveiled its second-generation pedestrian crash-test dummy, named POLAR II.
