The report summarizes the results of testing four General Motors (GM) Experimental Safety Vehicles (ESV's). Two of the vehicles (GM-08 and GM-09) were fully functional and were utilized in all phases of the test program. The other two vehicles (GM-06 and GM- 07) had previously been crash tested by GM during the development program and were suitably refurbished for futher crash testing. The purpose of the test program was to conduct quantitative nondestructive and crash tests on the ESVs to determine their compliance with the Government performance specifications. The overall evaluation of the GM vehicles involved the following four tasks: Task I--Evaluation of Design Requirements; Task II--Accident Avoidance Evaluations; Task III--Crash Injury Reduction Evaluations; Task IV--Post-Crash Factors Evaluations.
