An article in Road and Track discusses technologies and materials being adopted in new vehicles. Chief among these advanced materials is aluminum, which is used in key crumple zones to help dissipate crash forces during a crash. The article highlights Cadillac’s CT6, “For example, the new Cadillac CTS uses lightweight aluminum ‘crush cans’ up front to soak up a lot of energy before an impact reaches the passengers.”
