I work for General Motors. We have test dummies of all shapes and sizes to represent children, women, babies and men. Just because NHTSA does not require them for a 5 star rating does not mean that we want women and children dying in our vehicles. We've had "smart dummies" since 2010 and have been using the data collected from those dummies to improve our models and make them more robust and safer.

OK, we can go home now...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

And your comment makes me think that you could argue seeing gender bias in anyones response. Not trying to be belligerent by the way (I know the response sounds like I am - but really I’m seeking genuine understanding of the line being crossed in the parents logic). I do see the value in deducing gender bias even when it’s not specific as I would assume that would be a hard requirement to pass. However, at some point…

Sorry, I couldn't understand that, although I tried. i.e. not the first sentence nor the last two.
