The phrase refers to accessing simulations or information related to vehicle collision safety evaluations that might typically be restricted or inaccessible due to various limitations, such as network firewalls in schools or workplaces. As an example, a student might seek this type of access to research vehicle safety ratings or view crash test videos as part of an automotive engineering project, circumventing imposed network restrictions.
The availability of unrestricted access to such material facilitates broader dissemination of safety information, potentially influencing purchasing decisions and promoting safer driving practices. Historically, public awareness campaigns and regulatory requirements have been crucial in improving vehicle safety standards. Unfettered access to crash test data can be seen as a continuation of this effort, empowering individuals with knowledge to make informed choices about vehicle safety.
