Khodrocar - The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety identifies itself as an independent, non-profit research organization that, among other things, rates cars for safety based on crash survivability and avoidance technology.
Cars are rated by their performance in "high-speed front and side crash tests” including passenger-side impacts and small overlap head-on crashes plus evaluations of roof strength, rollover resilience, seats and head restraints and how well the headlights help you see.
