SynDaver Labs has become famous for their SynDaver Synthetic Human and the SynDaver Synthetic Canine, but recently the company created a prototype Synthetic Human specifically for use in vehicle safety testing, and it is already being used by one major, but confidential, company in Detroit. Additionally, another of the nation’s largest vehicle manufacturers has also reached out to SynDaver with the intent to use SynDaver’s Synthetic Humans in their testing. Unlike the traditional SynDaver Synthetic Humans, this prototype features a self-contained beating heart and inflating lungs. It’s currently being used by the confidential client to monitor how the body responds to the effects of vibration on the heart and lungs by using a Doppler radar. The reason SynDaver is being used over conventional crash-test dummies is because SynDaver’s synthetic tissue and synthetic flesh allow the Doppler radar to penetrate and monitor the blood flow and lung inflation, where a plastic body would not work. “What’s truly remarkable about this new version of our Synthetic Human is that for the first time, we have created a heart that actually beats, contracts and forces blood through the vasculature system in a self-contained environment,�?? said Dr. Christopher Sakezles, founder of SynDaver Labs. “This is just the beginning of what our Synthetic Humans can be used for, but eventually we hope all automobile manufacturers will rely on our Synthetic Human to see how destructive crashes will affect the body.�?? While Apple, Google and Tesla are not currently using the SynDaver Synthetic Human for their testing, Sakezles expects the technology giants will recognize the value of having the closest thing to a living human as their potential crash test dummies. “Our Synthetic Humans can be modified to capture data around any testing protocol and specification needed,�?? Sakezles said. “Their state-of-the-art autonomous vehicles deserve the most technologically advanced crash test Synthetic Human, and we’re capable of providing them.�??
