Love you guys doing the talk great chemistry. If feels like I'm sitting in a table with friends. Keep up the great work!
Not a bad point about paying more for better headlights. No car NEEDS driver assistance systems, but every car is required to have headlights. They should be the safest headlights from the start.
It’s interesting to see which cars push them self to the side and keep going VS the ones that seem to bounce off and go backwards
Volvos have been doing that since the current gen xc90
Maybe they should add another barrier behind the first one and see what a 2nd collision would look like.
Much less of an impact when glancing off the barrier, meaning less injuries. The cars that do violent stops and harsh turn arounds can also be thrown into into a secondary crash..
Good stuff, thanks. I also absolutely hate poor camera resolution in vehicles.
Thanks for a good discussion of the autonomous and driver assist features!
The Wrangler tipped over, but at least the wheel stayed attached 😂
There is a blue Wrangler that get stolen and his dash cam has the footage and speed recorded on gps hitting a pole at about 50mph. All the thief’s got out and ran away.
The wrangler is very strong, rollover or not.
Edit: the video is on RUclips somewhere
Kool
My son was driving our 2018 Camry with the brake assist feature and the car just stopped as he was driving through a curve. Another car was coming at them in the opposite direction but in their lane. Luckily he didn't get rear-ended. My advice is if you have the ability to do so, lower the sensitivity of the collision detection sensors.
Car companies should also use brighter reverse lights so the back camera can see better.
Genius
After this video, I’m buying a Semi😂😂😂😂😂
About the Leaf: it was the small-overlap test they did not do for the latest generation (either side). They received a Poor rating on the previous generation, driver's side (no separate test done for passenger side).
Hey I really enjoy your video and particularly liked this one focussed on safety. I have a question about the headlight situation. I noticed that the RAV4 Hybrid 2021 also had similar problem with the headlight. So what trim do I need to get to in order to get the safe headlights? Limited, XSE, XSE with technology package?
How about an electric car crashing into a pickup truck from either end? My 4x4 Ram 1500 came from the factory with rather high bumpers on both ends. I am concerned that these relatively low cars might crash under the truck and finish with the truck bumper going through the car windshield. I feel safer in my truck for now.
Someone who owns a 2005 car: "It didn't get a safety pick on the test? I'll wait a bit longer for my next purchase them." ... and keeps driving his deathtrap. 😆
@@carbonstar9091 You are correct. It's a 2004 car. A Renault Clio in fact. I've been saving since I saw the Model S prototype and at one point bought some stock. Currently waiting for Berlin to make me a Model Y. Also, I didn't specify any car in my first comment, so it could have been a cheaper and smaller car. Also, someone could be happily driving a 2005 BMW 3 E90? Some people don't upgrade every few years, because they are immune to peer pressure and have a brain of their own.
@@carbonstar9091 what kind of car you drive means nothing about you financially. If you have a good, running vehicle that isn’t rusting to pieces or braking down there’s no reason to get rid of it just because it’s not the flashiest thing on the road. There’s an upper middle class neighborhood here in my town with basically mini-mansions and guess what was in their driveways? One had an 05 Forester, there where several Hyundai’s and a couple other sedans and crossovers you wouldn’t expect people “with money” to have. Turns out people with money actually have money, not car payments.
In my Arlington neighborhood where houses start at $700k most of the new cars were leases for people living far beyond their means. The rest were mainstream cars bought CPO by those with their finances and priorities in order
I was in my Prius at a red light on a road with three lanes each way plus right and left turn lanes. When my light turned green I started out but a truck in the oncoming left turn lane was late making it into the intersection. I put on my brakes and honked at him but he kept going. What I didn't expect was the Subaru from the left turn lane next to him to also go way after the light changed. My Prius's emergency braking stopped me before we collided.
My Chevy bolt will put the parking brake on (as an emergency feature I suppose) as I’m reversing down a fairly steep driveway to a flat road.
Sometimes not slow enough and hits hard testing the suspension pretty good...
I usually get that happening when it’s at a crawl, waiting for a vehicle or pedestrian as well.
Confused little robot lol. Otherwise it just says I’m dangerous way to often 🙈
Cannot you put it back into R with the door already opened after it automatically slammed the brake? I understand that all new Hyundais have that safety feature to put into park if you are in drive gear and opened the door.
Difference between Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick + is basically headlight performance.
how do you fly forward when braking in reverse? the physics in your parking lot are interesting...
the Mustang did well for body deformation!
I've had a similar experience to Roman regarding the forward collision warning in our F-150. Not as bad as his, but it was really annoying. Similar circumstance, dude was turning off the road into a parking lot. Would _clearly_ be out of the way in time (at least clearly to a human), but the truck got all bothered about it. This feedback shouldn't be considered actionable, I think I'd still rather have the tech all things considered!
I'm guessing that the prop in the background is the hood for a Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz, say 1978.
Good fair report. But the phantom breaking happened to me in my Ford F-150. Not many times but when it did I slowed 20 mph quickly. I brought it up to my ford dealer and was told that was within “normal parameter”. No cars in front of me but in the lane to my right or left.
“Safe” is subjective.
Years ago on a country road a 1 star Chrysler grand voyager crashed into a much never 5 star VW golf.
The taxi driver in his one star mini van had severe cuts and bruises.
All 4 passengers in the golf died, 3 at the scene and one later in hospital.
This was a head on collision on a country road at night!
Fantastic example of how safety ratings mean very little if you hit a vehicle in a larger category. Most test only take into account hitting a vehicle of the same class/mass.
Oh boy, another correction at 11:45. The top rated Tesla Model 3 is about the same price as a similarly equipped Chevy Bolt (comparing 2 wheel drive models since the Bolt is 2 wheel drive).
Only if you're comparing MSRP's. The Bolt sells well under its MSRP. Tesla's prices are fixed.
@@theflew That is often true as GM can't seem to get rid of them. Horrible seats, abysmal tech and ridiculous charging are major problems. GM dealers don't want to sell them. It's almost as if they're crippled in order to move people into their GM ICE cars.
Saftey matters. I would not work half time today due to severe whiplash, that I got in 2000. Had I taken my almost new Volvo instead of my dads old Nissan, I would almost certainly walked away unharmed. As it was, I did not want my dad to get into the shiny Volvo with his dirty work clothes. So I took his car. And have been payong the price ever since. Saftey matters. A lot.
LED is starting to become standard just because it’s cheaper to make.
Which MB coupé were you driving? I have an S class coupé and never had that stopping you described. Actually most reviewers say the S class autonomous drive us one of the best of premium cars!
Agree about autonomy testing although it would be tricky to test because it's always improving with software updates and those idiosyncratic things like phantom braking are very idiosyncratic except when it's like from opening the door to save yourself from kerbing your wheels hahah that would be annoying
14:51 they are starting to hammer the guidelines out for that, but as of this moment "where the failures are" is so vague it's kind of hard to define a test for it. simple stuff, like lane keep is handled by other tests, and the complex stuff (like object recognition) is too widely defined at this point to be of use.
actually the test of the autonomous system Is a heck of a good idea
I'm just here to see the crashes : ]
the worst was Hyundai KIA.
Since these tests are pull tested and not under the battery load... Does that make a difference if the batteries are hot? My biggest fear is the battery catching on fire. This doesn't seem like a ideal test for that...
I am eyeing the new Q4. Hope you can test it and give us your thoughts
Please don't eye it
@@MikeyBadabingBadaboom lol. Why not
Death Wobble for the Jeep! not the first time
My 2016 ram 1500 just throws the transmission in park it doesn’t apply the brakes.
there who use to test drive for one the big three. He has some videos out about many unintended side effects, up until the 90's.
8:25 THAT IS A MODEL Y
Regarding the complaint about backing up a car and it braking. The car is trying to prevent people leaving the car before it is placed in park. It is either braking or putting the car in park to prevent driver negligence. To do what you were trying to do stop, open the door, then take the car out of park and roll back. The car is being smarter than the driver!
Blind spot and cross traffic alert are included in Lexus vehicles for 2021
Speed? A bit more info about the tests we are looking at? Great videos!! Why do they take out the headrest, like on the Volvo? Hm.
I thought the polestar 2 was built in partnership with Geely in China? Feel free to correct me.
I think you are ✅ right...it is Chinesium
It's not a partnership. Geely OWNS Volvo and Polestar.
True that
The Polestar is indeed made in China, the XC40 recharge from this video is made in Belgium. Geely owns Volvo and Polestar.
Polestar? I never heard of that one, sounds like an exotic dancer or some shi...
congrats on one million
Is least safe the same as most dangerous?
A correction: there's much more potential energy in gasoline than in an EV battery. Also gas cars burn at over 10 times the rate per 100,000 sold compared to EVs.
You guys should do a video on the most dangerous cars in history.
I drive a Citroen saxo with no air bags and no abs it weighs 1700lbs and frankly a wheel barrow would come of better in a crash 😂 there’s a crash test on RUclips 👍🏻
21:04 Roman, if you were backing up and the car slams on the brakes, you would not going flying forward...
You certainly would fly forward
You go backward and then with enough energy in the braking event forward.
Oh yeah, you would be flying like a cow in a tornado.
@@TFLcar Wear your seatbelt. Sudden braking events lock modern belts in place. You would not have been flying around the cabin.
Watch the Suzuki Samari from the 90s. That was crazy.
Damn great car though. It would crawl anywhere. Especially places Jeeps can't go.
What's on the hood behind you Roman, signatures?
You're mentioning all the reasons I don't want a car with these "safety" systems.
Not to mention the cost of replacing a part when one of those goes out.
I'm curious how safe these electric vehicles are in flood conditions?
Regarding the autonomous stuff I’m more than agree with you, they are still pretty dumb and sometimes dangerous. I’ve Toyota Camry 2020 and it does a lot of dumb breaking and panicking.
Is the Tesla truck more safe than model 3 ?
Not even mentioning that the Etron scored best in the pedestrian detection systems....
14:09 isn't that a chicken stuff? I understand, there's some slang, but sounds funny!
Until the manufacturer starts paying for the vehicle insurance in full, i'm not trusting their autonomous systems.
Roman, isn’t the lack of manual releases on the back doors on the Tesla a safety issue? We talk about that, remember?
Very very SHOCKING results.
Tesla Model 3 - Top Safety Pick +
Volvo XC40 Recharge - Top Safety Pick +
Audi E-Tron Sportback - Top Safety Pick +
Ford Mustang Mach-E - Top Safety Pick
Chevrolet Bolt - Acceptable Rating
Nissan Leaf - Good Rating
BMW I3 - Good Rating
Peterbilt 579 - Top Safety Pick +++
I keep hearing that most vehicles these days are 4 or 5 stars which kind of ruins the point.
on all these safety stuff features....they should default to off or give you an easy permanent shut off for each and that includes the dumb on off at stop lights.
So much energy in the battery... compared to carrying 10 gallons of petrol around in the back of an ICE car.
Exactly! An EV battery holds far less energy than a gas tank.
@@JM-wd3dk you're absolutely right about the relative efficiency. But that wasn't the point.
@@JM-wd3dk You didn’t watch the video? They were talking about having a vehicle fire. Efficiency has nothing to do with a fire. 🤦♂️
This tells me there something wrong because if your braking the auto systems should be off. They do over apply brakes
@ 8:48 I will buy a fully loaded Mustang Mach-E 4X Premium anyway.
It would have received the Top Safety Pick + designation. It's just the lower trims without the LED headlights that kept the entire model range from getting that certification.
For what they cost all trims should have the best lights and blind spot monitors. Basic safety equipment should be standard
The first Tesla model three in the video, (the red one) when it crashes what seats are in the car? Those don’t look like Tesla seats.
I wonder why they dont catch fire...like the media told me 🤔
Currently, more often than not, autonomous features at highway speeds, are not very good. I consider them a detriment.
At the lower speeds, in the city specifically, it is becoming a better feature with every different release. It’s already saving the lives of pedestrians most definitely!
If you are backing up and have to open the door to see what’s there,,,,,,,, hang up your keys!!! Please..... a little decent judgement and you should be good, especially if you have owned the vehicle for a while.
Don’t open the door while backing up!! People have fallen out of their vehicles doing this and ran themselves over, sometimes with fatal results!!
I flew forward because I was in reverse??? Physics different in Colorado?
I hope the batteries Don't go to waste
w163 Mercedes ML rated #2 in highway safety. Beat that
With a Tesla rated #1?
Put some carpet on the floor gents. The audio will be much better for it.
I really like your conversation at the end.
To add I’d like to say, “if autonomy is such a good idea then why aren’t they implemented on trains?”
Actually, they want to implement Postive Train Control, which may have avoided disasters and saved hundreds of lives in incidents like the over speed in Spain and Dupont, Washington.
@@Johneyt54 No more than airport trams, and I believe there are less than 30 in the entire world.
Volvo did not invent the seat belt.
It was the Tucker, right? The second he siad that i was like... no.
@@AudiCaddieMan 1955 U.S. Patent 2,710,649 Roger W. Griswold and Hugh DeHaven.
If I remember correctly, Volvo invented the 3 point seat for cars.
@@danubiosalas4231 look up that patent number. also a 58 Saab 750gt
It’s interesting how the Mach-E does not receive the plus because of the headlights of a particular trim model, but the Audi, which had a trim that the headlights were not a “good” rating did receive the plus. Sounds like Ford didn’t pay up to receive the plus.
I noticed in these crashes that more than a couple of these vehicles had the left front wheels simply blew apart; that's different! I never saw or noticed this before in previous crash test video.
So Roman, I guess " The Class of 95'" has a different meaning to you,...LOL! ( P.S. me too, actually )
I saw the wheel come off in some truck crash tests on here somewhere in front offset test. I think it is deliberate for the wheel to come off or blow apart. If the wheel stays on and intact, it pushes into the passenger compartment and does more harm. In most crashes though, I would rather the wheels stayed on and intact.
@@darrinstewart7622 Yes, but Roman ( I think it was ) said in this video, that they are supposed to stay with the vehicle so as not to fly away into possible bystanders.
Heavy is never safe, 4 U, the others and charged lithium batteries are highly inflammables under impact and internal shorts circuit damages with a rather quick release of about one third of the thermal energy of the same weight of TNT. Now, my BBQ is a Weber and I only fit inside one turkey at the time. To me, the real issue is all cooked....
Nice electric car crash test....👍
No kia or Hyundai?
Dacia Spring.
Its overpriced
IIHS is not independent. It's biased for the insurance industry's priorities. They've been criticized for decades. NHTSA is the federal agency that provides the least biased scientific results.
Honestly it's a crime to let some cars on the road.
Good comment on the model X at 8:20. Fun fact, the Model X roof broke the roof crush machine when they tried to crush it.
VW left the chat.
So the front wheel came off the Volvo the Audi and the Ford yet full safety ratings???
Also the wheel fell off the BMW.
They are rating how the passenger area protects the passenger. All that energy used to rip off the wheel is less energy going into harm the humans.
@@danubiosalas4231 yes but if you watch and listen a wheel is supposed to stay attached or the vehicle gets a lower score. Flying wheels are dangerous and result in a lower rating.
So how do you get a perfect score if the wheel flies off?
@@jerrymyahzcat it may be that other parameters behave much better. I am pretty sure that the interior passenger space is the most important element to evaluate.
Highest and BEST use of electric cars is CRASH testing...no gasoline is wasted
They should stop and avoid hitting deer 🦌 or moose. Not funny at night .
Or hogs.
Jeep : Ok so we flip over but we flip so you are out of danger. (Pause). Yeah um pay no attention to that test dummy that just lost its head. Shoddy overseas manufacturing.
Jeep we take you everywhere. ( Please note that death via decapitation is not an included feature and may cost you carrier fees and other out of pocket expenditures that are not part of the warranty at the time of lease, purchasing or finance. )
No autonomous self-driving system will ever be better than a human. You know why? Intuition.
If you add points for intuition, should also substract points for distraction, emotions, tiredness, and other situations where humans loose attention.
The thing about gasoline cars is that they are filled with gasoline. 😄
being objective: xpeng super dangerous = fatal, and nissan gtr is the safest in the world, tesla model X breaks in 2 pieces
Their walking thing sucks, it doesn't look like a walker. I'm not sure how it's supposed to recognize their wobbly waggly doll as a walking human.
"our old Tesla" cmon...... Fud from the old version of the system
Second!

Ford's only neg was base model headlights? Give me a break as that adds nothing to the crash worthines of a vehicle.
With better lighting, you can see the fear in the 🦌deer/moose eyes
“Highway safety” it’s not just crash safety.
The Leaf got a neg because the latch was hard to use, not that it wasn't safe.
Headlights affect safety because they determine how long drivers have to react to hazards. www.iihs.org/topics/headlights
@@pepstein they should also add a fog test and all cars without fog light will fail. That way, all car manufacturers will include it in their lineup.
I've been driving for over 40 years without cameras and automatic braking or any of this useless crap. I think I can get by without it.
Would you say everyone on the road drives as well, and pays as much attention as you do?
@@danubiosalas4231 Definitely not, but I shouldn't have to be forced to pay for something because someone else can't drive or wants to piss around on their phone while they are driving.
If you cannot drive a car without opening the door to reverse part you should not be doing motor report.
Total rubbish you have mirrors . We have to be able to do this on our advanced driving test no leaning out reverse left and right around a corner mirrors only.
Size of car got nothing to do with over lap test pass or fail many european cars are smaller and pass. So you need to stop with the size comments
ok, i get a 1976 Chevrolet Impala ( banned from many demolition events) and you get whatever size car you want... Good luck, are you sure you want to do this?
This thing about the reverse gear is not true. Americans for some unknown reason do not engage there part brake when stopped the actor had failed to disengage to put his car in park and had selected reverse got out with engine on . This is bad driving not car faults
People shouldn't be believing tesla when they pretend their cars are safer than a human
Tesla is not saying that, Ther ask you to pay attention. And there is plenty of unsafe human drivers.
