Volvo's Linda: Investigating Car Accident Risks for Pregnant Women and Unborn Babies

The video discusses the risks pregnant women face in car accidents, highlighting that car accidents are a leading cause of fatality for unborn children. Volvo has developed a digital crash test dummy named Linda to study these risks and improve safety systems. This initiative is in collaboration with Salgenska University Hospital, aiming to set future safety standards. The video also notes that most knowledge on this topic comes from the U.S., with statistics indicating more women die in traffic accidents than from pregnancy complications.
