Instead, this Wikipedia article concerns the nickname for an avoidance test.

This research and subsequent changes in Saab cars design - have saved many lives on the roads.

Crash tests were conducted with a moose dummy according to a test method developed by Swedish National Road and Transport research Institute, VTI (Matstoms 2003)" - quoting https://www-esv.nhtsa.dot.gov/Proceedings/25/25ESV-000294.pdf https://www-esv.nhtsa.dot.gov/Proceedings/25/25ESV-000294.pd... which cites "Evaluation of the moose dummy Mooses II with a view to consumer guidance" at https://trid.trb.org/view/743464 https://trid.trb.org/view/743464 .
