GM's crash test dummies are so smart, they're frickin' GENIUSES

Step into the Anthropomorphic Test Device Laboratory at General Motors and meet the company's family of crash test dummies. This group of plastic people is getting into a lot of accidents lately, testing the crashworthiness of the Chevy Volt.

But wait a second. Who you callin' a dummy, anyway? These geniuses have 50 data channels, and some of the smartest ones have 100 — recording all those traumatic experiences in great numerical detail onto devices built inside them that are the size of a pack of cards.

Why are they always wearing pink? You'll have to watch the video to find out.
