WORLDSID: THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL CRASH DUMMY IS PRODUCTION READY 
SOUTHFIELD, Mich., March 9, 2004 -- The WorldSID Task Group of the International Organization for
Standardization has officially released the world's first internationally designed crash test dummy today for production. For the first time in the automotive history, a crash test dummy was designed, developed and
tested collectively by technical working groups from the America's, European and the Asia/Pacific regions. The dummy, known as WorldSID (for World Side Impact Dummy), has been under development since 1997. Its
212 sensors capture data more than 1000 times per second and store the information in special memory boards inside the dummy, making it the most advanced (and probably the smartest) crash test dummy in the world.
