I don't think there the percentage of shitty or reckless drivers has increased over the past several decades. I just cringe at the vehicular arms race. Can't deny that size sells.

I was referring to mass, but also to the relative hardness of a truck made of 1.8mm thick stainless steel. I'm not sure "pedestrian safety" and "crumple zone" were commonly used terms in the CT development team.

To be fair, few people really understand a traditional four-stroke.

I meant the traffic circle.

In the US, even fewer people understand traffic circles than four strokes.

Crumple zones are over rated anyway.

Seems like the crumple zones are good. The wheels are meant to twist out of the way, the motor drops, so to save the battery. I wouldn't expect the rear wheels to turn too or the rear light bar to pop off, but oh well.

It might have thick steel like "how they use to make cars", but it is a good thing they don't make em like they use to. But realistically, forces will likely transfer to the driver more, for sure.

It's an apocalypse zombie bull dozer. You didn't know?

As Musk says, "if you're in an accident with another car, you will win"...

On this, I'm out to trade my bicycle & trailer for an F-650. Or might just get a semi and be done with it. Be right back.

All I can think watching this is what a waste of a beautiful prime condition BelAir.

I wouldn't have expected anything else. Everything is great in a vacuum but when a comparison is done the harshness is obvious.

Judging by the cloud of rust that appears when it's hit, it was closer to rotisserie restoration material than prime condition.

I recall reading they'd done that crash test without an engine in the Bel Air, not sure why. Then again all it would have meant is more damage on the dummy legs!

Maybe, I guess I saw the rust dust as paint. Doing the test without an engine pretty much invalidates it as well it would seem to me.
