I know neck load testing is not required according to FMVSS 213, but I am trying to find out if there are any US manufacturers that have/are doing voluntary testing with the more advanced Hybrid III test dummies with the neck load cells. Google tells me NHTSA considered including the use of the Hybrid III 3 yo and 6 yo dummy but I'm guessing that never came to pass.
Any idea if any US manufacturers are testing any rear or forward facing seats with these more advanced dummies for neck load numbers?
