A closer look

Automotive manufacturers in Sweden developed a highly specific driving evaluation known as the moose test to ensure their vehicles could successfully dodge massive woodland creatures without flipping over. Since the 1970s, new car models have been aggressively swerved through a narrow gauntlet of traffic cones at fifty miles per hour to simulate the sheer terror of a thousand-pound forest giant casually strolling onto the highway. Failing this absurdly specific maneuver has completely destroyed the reputation of several prominent European cars over the decades, forcing engineers back to the drawing board just because their shiny new hatchback couldn't outmaneuver an imaginary antlered beast. It is highly entertaining to realize that some of the most advanced automotive engineering and electronic stability control systems in the modern world were specifically designed to combat the suicidal tendencies of giant goofy deer who refuse to look both ways before crossing the road
