Are 2016's Top Movies Passing The Bechdel Test?

Description

The Bechdel Test is a measure of sexisim in narratives, and is one of the easiest to pass. There are only three requirements, and all are basically the minimum for establishing humanity in female characters. A story will pass the test if it answers these three questions: 1. Are there more than two named female characters? 2. Do those two characters have a conversation at any point? And, 3. Is that conversation about anything other than a man? The Test doesn’t include whether or not women are portrayed negatively or is sexist. Yet, 32% of 2016’s biggest films failed the test. Deadpool, The Jungle Book, and Now You See Me 2 all failed.

The NEXO, which is only available in California, is the first such hydrogen fuel cell vehicle that IIHS has tested. A vehicle such as NEXO would not normally be included in the IIHS routine test schedule, but Hyundai nominated its own NEXO for early testing. Evaluating the NEXO was also beneficial to IIHS, by offering its first early opportunity to evaluate a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle.
