Love how it goes towards the outside of the car after the impact, they remind me of over protective dogs - ‘Noo! I must protect my owner (or, driver in this case).
Look at the slowmo at 0:46. You can see the car flexing when it absorbs the impact of the crash. It looks like it’s made out of rubber.
Another positive point for me is that it isn’t brought to a standstill by the obstacle. The crumple zones guide the car away from the obstacle while slowing it down. This means there’s a great chance you could have an accident like that and have no injuries at all.
“Hey, the air cond still works!”
really cool how the car keeps on going even though its had a major crash
Very few cars actually keep going forward in that style after the small overlap crash. Those are some massively tough reinforcements they put in there! The chance of injury is brilliantly low for today’s standards!! Well done Volvo! Tesla, your turn!!
