ha!   make sure the head is always aimed either into thei own lap or towards the center stack for accurate real world results.

i wonder about this one... especially the fact that it is "gm".... hmmm... built in gothenburg sweden?... what else is it that is there... hmmmm.... perhaps volvo's headquarters and their amazingly up to date and industry leading crash facility? I find it hard to think that the two things had nothing to do with each other.

either way, good stuff. anything to make stuff safer.
