SpaceX conducted a full in-flight abort test, triggering the SuperDraco escape system at maximum aerodynamic pressure. The Crew Dragon capsule successfully escaped a deliberately terminated Falcon 9 at ~1.3 km altitude, validating the launch escape system required for NASA human rating certification.
