International automakers are looking to develop computer models of humans for improving the design of their cars. The Global Human Body Models Consortium LLC was quoted in the article as saying that the models provide better data. It is also likely that a computer model will save automakers a lot of money becuase they will not need to actually build a car before they crash test it. The automakers consortium contacted 40 research and universities world wide to help with the creation of full body models and specific body part models.
