The Moose Test
Automakers put their cars through many tests to assure that they’re safe. Among these is the moose test, which measures how well a vehicle can dodge a suddenly appearing obstacle on the road – for example, a moose. The test generally replaces an actual moose with brightly colored cones, which in my opinion ruins most of the excitement of the thing.
Unsurprisingly, it was originally developed in Sweden by Saab and Volvo, since their vehicles tended to be most at risk for moose-related accidents.
