For three decades, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has been smashing vehicles with an adult-sized dummy sitting in the front seat, simulating a type of head-on collision where two vehicles are slightly offset.

In remarks with President Donald Trump on Thursday at the White House, Zeldin called start-stop technology the Obama switch and said it makes vehicles die at every red light and stop sign.
