  • I got to drive the world's first car (replica), patented by Benz in 1886
    Check out the series on new safety features: ve42.co/MB
    This video is sponsored by Mercedes-Benz, who invited me to come to Stuttgart to see their latest cars, crash test facilities and experience the innovations they are working on.
    Physics is something that is directly applicable to car safety. Cars go fast, but they also sometimes collide with obstacles, which brings them to a sudden stop, subjecting the car and occupants to very high accelerations, which can cause injury or death. So the major idea to improve car safety is to reduce these accelerations and there are a number of ways to do this:
    Passive safety:
    Seat belts: keep passengers in the vehicle, preventing them from continuing with constant velocity, flying through the windshield and suffering a worse deceleration when they make contact with the road.
    Crumple zones: increase the distance over which deceleration occurs, thereby reducing peak magnitude of deceleration.
    Air bags: increase the distance over which the head decelerates, again reducing peak magnitude of deceleration of the head.
    Active Safety:
    Anti-lock braking system: rather than 'locking' the wheels as can happen if you slam on the brakes with a traditional braking system leading to the tires skidding across the road, ABS attempts to control the amount of braking so that the tires always roll with static friction in contact with the road. This increases the backward frictional force that can be applied to the tires, again increasing the distance over which deceleration occurs, and it gives the driver an opportunity to steer to avoid the collision (hence why it's referred to as an active safety system).
    Special thanks to Mercedes for having me visit facilities in Stuttgart. I had a lot of fun making these videos so please do check out the series on Mercedes Benz's channel: ve42.co/MB

      Actually it was Benz. Mercedes comes from the Daimler's side. Daimler and Benz likely never met. In 1926 their companies merged as Daimler-Benz (Now Daimler AG) and they decided to make cars under the name Mercedes Benz.
      Who was the Mercedes? Mercedes Adrienne Ramona Manuela Jellinek (1889-1929) was the daughter of Emil Jellinek who was a major client of Daimler. Jellinek used the name Mercedes in his cars. She was a Jew so it is funny to see images of Hitler in Mercedes Benz cars.

      I once totaled a Beetle by sitting in the back seat. The seat springs bridged the neg and pos terminals on the battery below the seat. So the springs got hot, and started a fire on the upholstery. When we pulled over, opened the door, the air came in and then whoosh - went up in flames. I had a friend who told me his fathers vw camper went up in flames when they were sleeping in it. Don't know how it happened. I've always heard some of the earlier vw's were not well grounded.

      Seatbelts where an option in Mercedes-Benz cars early on (you can still today order seatbelts for classic cars from 1954 and onwards). The reason why German cars didn't lead the way is simply because of the fact that it was not mandatory to use seat belts in Germany and therefore it was just an option.
      SAAB introduced seatbelts as a standard in 1958, before Volvo, but the seat belts (3 point safety belts) we use today are definately coming from Volvo (Nils Bohlin).

Pretty funny, I found out, what's the actual history of this pharmacy a couple years later

      The record vehicle weighed less than 750kg, which means its power to weight ratio is far better than even the Bugatti Veyron's. With its ridiculously aerodynamic body, this made high speeds possible. This was before down force was a concept in the automotive world (which is why the other driver died that day), so record vehicles were designed only with wind resistance in mind. Modern super- and race cars have much higher wind resistance in favor of more down force, which means that they can corner faster and are more stable in a straight line.

    I think front back and side bumper cameras are going to be the last big safety improvement before we move entirely to self driving cars for most things. Being able to have the car hold a lane, or warn you you're drifting over lane lines without signalling (useful if you fall asleep and start to drift), brake for you if it detects an imminent crash, and honestly most importantly, help you get in and out of tight parking situations, which is where the majority of accidents actually occur, even if they're generally more minor. Not all of them are minor of course, since oncoming cars hitting you at speed is never good, but the technologies listed above can also help prevent such an accident if backup cams and such aren't sufficient to avoid it.

      Even after the "Patent-Motorwagen Nr.1", those machines maintained a somewhat status quo, since they were slow, not really useful and expensive. The real breakthrough and revolution came with the "Ford Model T", everything before that was more or less something "nobody took notice of and which nobody called cars and which nobody was impressed by."

      I dont get what youre even talking about?!
      Is this about a car or about your own personal pride in things others achieved?
      Because if I remember correctly, we werent talking about Diesel, Porsche whatsoever.
      We were talking about one specific car and about other inventors, that build similar cars before the Motorwagen.
      And I think, youre the one that is missing some acknowledgment here.
      You said
      "...which nobody took notice of and which nobody called cars and which nobody was impressed by."
      refering to inventions such as the "Hippomobile" by Etienne Lenoir. THAT is disrespectful!
      I highly appreciate what Benz, Otto and Diesel did for everyone.
      But saying that the Motorwagen was a technical revolution(without any explanation why) whereas the other inventions didnt matter at all, makes you look like a douchebag.
      That being said, here are some facts : The Motorwagen and Hippomobile were nearly the same(but differently shaped) concepts of a useful car. Both used combustion engines, spark ignition and a carburetor system. Only real difference was that Etiennes engine was a two-stroker, Benzs a four-stroker.
      And if you didnt know, Lenoir was the first ever to build an combustion-piston engine and is known as the inventor of the spark-plug.
      Otto and Bosch took those things, came up with own ideas and made them overall better, so a greater amount of people could make use of it.. just like Henry Ford's manufacturing made cars affordable for the average joe. Hope you learned something and dismiss that unrespectful attitude of yours asap.
