The answer is that the engineers at the
General Motors Proving Ground take nothing
for granted. They want to know what happens
when a car ploughs through water. They
insist too on measuring, with special machines
which they have built, just how quickly the
car can be stopped and just how much pres
sure of the foot is required to stop it.
