10:24 The Honda decided to hit that 'person' anyways. It slowed down just enough to keep from killing, but still hit hard enough for injury. It wanted that 'person' to be alive and to tell other humans to fear Hondas.

You didnt answer the initial question: Is the cybertruck safe?

Question: Which car is the most dangerous?
Answer: "Here's why america sucks in regards to vehicle testing"

[michaelkarvelas]

Should be titled “everything wrong with vehicle safety tests” 👍😊

The moment I turn on the light in the car at night and my dad’s driving, that’s when the car becomes the most dangerous in the world

Before even clicking on this video, I knew that the Mitsubishi mirage will hold a spot somewhere along here. Thanks Doug DeMuro.

"America's fondness for trucks that wouldn't fit most European streets"
Believe me there's a lot of streets in the US as well where these don't fit but people decide to buy them anyways 🤦‍♂️

Subaru: Tries to stop, stops.

Mitsubishi: Tries to stop, can't.

Honda: Tries to stop. Stops. Accelerates again to hit the pedestrian anyways

Honda: I won't kill him but I will punish him and teach him to correct behavior!

Excuse me

"Instead of jumping to conclusions, I decided to jump into research mode" Goddamn I wish more people were like that

10:12
Subaru: You can't just kill the human!
Mitsubishi: haha, human go

The female dummy part is actually pretty interesting, considering that you expect the Mirage to be driven by teenage girls.

[napoleonibonaparte]

The most dangerous car is of course the Reliant Robin.

This is eye-opening. My mom has always complained about cars not being designed with women in mind. I thought this largely was just due to size: she's 5'2", so she doesn't have the reach required to do a lot of things comfortably. On the other hand, I, as a 5'10" man, am still short enough to fit in the back seat of many larger coupes but tall enough to not have to reach for anything. I didn't realize, however, that other physical differences are ignored, such as bone density and (probably) physical strength, not to mention seat belts fitting my flat chest and never-to-be-full-of-fetus abdomen much better. The differences are much deeper than I realized.

The first thing that needs to be fixed is driver education.

Lovely video! I thought of some additions:

Don't forget that small cars like the Mirage are used as city-brawlers, which means low average speed, so more time spending driving whithout adding much mileage, in an environment thats most likely to provoke an accident. Big cruisers are mostly driving on a highway or, like trucks, in a rural environment, so they are less likely to hit other cars frontally or sideways on.


One big safety issue in the desingn of a car is missing in this video: Pedestrian-safety, probably the most likely reason the Cybertruck will not get released as it is right now.



I don't want to get hit by an unyielding metalblock with a sharp edge on the hight of my neck.

The biggest impact you see here, is the car industry lobby on legislation.

[Alexandry]

I suspect the Mirage (and a few other compact cars) have high casualty rates for several factors, including
- they're often driven in cities (more traffic, more accidents per mile);
- they're often driven by learner drivers (more accidents per mile); and
- they're often hit by heavier cars (in which case, it's the heavier car that's less safe).
There will be genuine drawbacks too - eg a lower budget may mean lower-quality materials - and naturally if the Mirage is literally top of the table, it's also done worse than the other compacts. Still, I suspect a lot of the casualty rate is down to how compacts are used, rather than how safe they are inherently.
Insurance companies (or Google) have the data for a real like-for-like analysis...

10:16 i hate it when people randomly walk across the street without looking left and right
