A Saab 9-3 Crash

According to Swedish website, The Local , General Motors (parent company of Sweden's Saab) has been using human cadavers in automobile crash testing. Claes Tingvall, from the Swedish Road Administration noted that GM recently finished a multi-year research project in which dead bodies of those who had donated their cadaver to science. 
Apparently the experiments were used to develop crash dummies and research the effects of automobile crashes on real human bodies. Saab was the company doing the testing however the results were apparently shared throughout GM.  A total of 10 cadavers were used.  Valid scientific research or unnecessary and disturbing? You be the judge.

Not surprisingly neither General Motors or Saab would comment on or acknowledge the use of cadavers in crash testing.
