What does the moose test for cars mean?

[AbigailRose]

The moose test for cars refers to evaluating a vehicle's ability to avoid obstacles. The name of this test comes from the moose, an animal commonly found in Scandinavia in Northern Europe and most parts of North America, which often jumps out unexpectedly in front of vehicles, leading to collisions with high-speed cars and causing serious traffic accidents. Typically, automakers have specific requirements when conducting the moose test: the car must carry four passengers, and upon entering the test area, the vehicle must avoid obstacles without braking. The speed is gradually increased during the test, and the speed at which the vehicle loses control is recorded—this speed is the result of the moose test.
