@@ryboi1337 1:49 Guy is saying a fist is more dangerous than being stabbed with a knife. More surface area means more dissipation. The entire suite of crumpling features of a car impacting a wall with its full mass does indeed have a different display of dissipation than a car impacting a barrier that actuates 1/2 to 1/3 of a car's crumpling capabilities with its full mass behind it. The former was the standard, we could argue is the best case scenario, before someone conceived of the latter decades later, arguably a real world scenario, and car engineers and manufacturers had to devise better means of supplying more crumpling capabilities and reinforcement for the event where less was available. Former standard did not test side impacts, someone realized t-boning happens and started to test it, and since doing so we've implemented side airbags. Analogize this statement with the hypothetical of if Tesla didn't present a side impact test and imagine a youtuber saying 'It's much easier to dissipate energy with a side impact....than not being crashed into the side' okay the analogy sort of falls apart, sort of like the statement where a third of the car dissipates more energy than the full car falls apart.
@daiheadjai2 місяці тому
FYI it's actually harder to dissipate the force for the front overlap test as the force is focused on one corner of the vehicle. This is why the overlap test was introduced - vehicles had been acing the frontal crash test, but in the real world, occupants were getting injured badly.

No, older car isn't tougher and they're not dangerous because of that. It's not crumple zone that's slowing the passenger down (you wouldn't want that), but mainly airbags. Considering that most car had its chasis stopped before passenger hit the airbag (including cybertruck), there's basically no difference on how large/long it takes to crumple as long as the passenger cell remain rigid. An effective crumple zone is mainly there to prevent passenger cell deformation from crushing its passenger (cybertruck chasis is pretty strong, so...) I like how so many people just see the crash test and goes "ohhh, energy transfer bad", like they even know what they're talking about. It's middle school physics man...

The old cars had one thing going for them .... mass. I had a big car. A 1977 Lincoln town car with a big ole 460 big block. Thing was like a tank. Thick sheet metal. Empty weight (no driver, no gas) was something like 4880 lbs. Of course when a car like that was to hit an econo box weighing in like 1/2 the weight, the favor is going to be in favor of the large car. One thing older cars were really poor at was rollover. The A & B pillars on some of the older cars were really thin and flimsy in a rollover. The pillars on new cars are made to support the whole weight of the vehicle in a roll over that puts the car upside down.

the difference between the big stupid trucks and the cybertruck is that the bigger trucks will still crumple and fold somewhat if you hit another car or are hit by another car. meanwhile the cybertruck is just a steel brick that when it hits you, is just gonna pancake you and possibly with the sharp corners even tear your car open or apart.. I never believed in the notion that the cybertruck would harm the occupants inside in a crash. especially with seatbelts and modern airbags.. but what I do believe is that this thing is gonna cause massive damage to any car it wrecks into, and the people in it. an f150 will still crumple somewhat in a wreck. also this thing being called a tank is a joke. the windows aren't even bullet proof and its only proofed to small handgun calibers. the cybertruck is just a hypebeast vehicle

Fun fact: The German "Car License / Class B" allows you to drive vehicles up to 3.5 Tons in weight. This includes the vehicle, driver, passenger and everything else you put into the car. thus, vehicles like the Hummer EV couldn't even be driven without the small (literal) truck license. This would also make the "Beast" problematic. That would make just under 400kg of added load kinda making it super impractical. (metric tonnes)
@wolfgangpreier91604 місяці тому
It can be "typisiert" to 3.5 tons. That is usually made for recreational vehicles. As long as the weight of the car including all passengers stays below 3.5 tons. 2995 + 5 x 80 = 3.395 kg. Acceptable. But then you could not tow anything.

@jackvernian7779Місяць тому
Stainless steel is merely corrosion resistant, high Chromium and Manganese content helps, but in the end, you have inhomogenities in chemical composition at crystalline grain boundaries, where the corrosion sets in and spreads. Works even better if you scratch up the surface, since that will become the new nucleation point for corrosion. Sure, when compared to regular steel it's going to take a few months for it to start to rust instead of instantly, but dipping the parts in a zinc bath could dramatically improve the corrosion resistance.

@silvaanosvs87834 місяці тому
Former paramedic, current insurance risk manager here. Quite the discussion in the comments. Many good points, but also a few understandable misunderstandings and some considerations missing altogether. I just want to inform everyone about "the third collision". The first is the vehicle hitting something, the second is the body hitting the interior of the car (which seat belts and airbags deal with) and the third is the inner organs crashing inside the body. So, the faster these are travelling when the body itself suddenly stops, the more dead you'll be. Ligaments will rip straight through the organs they keep in place. Organs will smash against your rib cage or even the skin that is suddenly stationary because it has hit the dash or hopefully the airbag. This is what the crumple zone deals with. It's there to make the breaking distance of your body as long as possible, while the rigid cell around the interior tries to stop physical objects spearing through or smashing your whole body to pulp in one, rather swift, go. The crumple zone is about reducing the G force your body is subjected to in a crash. The seat belts help you slow down more in tandem with the car, stopping you from smashing into the dash and the steering wheel. An airbag helps cushioning the last bit of retardation. Also alleviating the stretching strain on your spine. (This is also helped by the active seat belts in modern cars, that strap you in just as the crash starts - or before, in the case of very modern cars - and then it will release a bit of slack, first and foremost so your ribs will not break and puncture your lungs and/or your heart. Yes, they have thought of that, too.) But an airbag where seat belts are not in use (or you sit too close to the wheel) is now a double Mike Tyson punch in the face. 600kgs vs 300kgs, or thereabouts. Not recommended. I worked at a crash site where a family of five in an American style van (Chevrolet, I think) collided with a Hyundai Accent. When the difference in weight is that big, the outcome is almost given, and the weight adds to the safety in that one instance. In fact, the 12-year old in the van ONLY survived because they had a trailer - a camper van - behind them, pushing the van forwards another few inches before it stopped, reducing the G forces on the family in the van. This according to the surgeon who opened up the kid to deal with internal bleeding. In this case, the Hyundai was stopped short AND pushed back a bit, making the G forces even higher than if they had just rammed into a mountain. They did not survive. Neither would anyone in the case of two very heavy cars with extremely rigid bodies colliding at 60mph, both stopping short. In theory, if they were identical in every way and one of them were heavier than the other - or even travelled at a higher speed than the other! - the people in that car would be better off than those in the slower OR lighter car. But looking at traffic at large, everyone driving as fast as possible in a car as heavy as possible is not gonna make us all safer. With regards to older cars, I have seen enough steering columns lodged in broken chests to prefer newer models for long distance travel. I drive my veteran carefully for many reasons. Sorry for writing such a long comment, but even this is a fragment of all the factors and aspects of collision safety. It is a tremendously complex field if you want to be detailed about it.

It weighed 850 kg, and was fine for just getting from A to B, if you were okay with cruising at a casual 130 km/h - whioch is already 10 MPH over the US speed limit.

@stinkycheese8047 днів тому
Perhaps you need to be on public roads in the US to understand. People in well handling vehicles often travel at speeds in excess of 80MPH, but then come upon those driving slower, and especially when those slower drivers won't get out of the passing lane, there is a need to maneuver around and quickly speed back up. Further with trucks, the torque and HP is a function of towing/hauling capacity. While it is true that many owners never use their trucks to their full potential, they are still designed to be capable of it for those purposes where it is useful. Frankly I could say the same about most EVs if it weren't for the utility of trucks, that it seems rather silly to design them with power plants that can accelerate from 0 to 60MPH in under 10 seconds when on public roads they just need to keep up with everyone else, and yet sports cars exist which are even less useful, but at least more visually appealing.

To this day, it still has under 100k miles (typically just my work truck, to and from work), and still runs great (doing all the maintenance and upkeep myself). Thought about selling it a few times (have gotten some great offers for it), but then they just don't make these smaller trucks anymore. Only thing I would've wished it was was a 5-speed instead.

Trucks/lorries/semitrucks can drop off their cargo outside of the city-center and electric vans take care of the logistics for the final km(s). Works perfectly fine and makes for very calm pedestrian living environment without noisy engines and exhaust fumes where people can sit outside their house and safely cross the street without having to look at metal boxes on wheels everywhere.

I've had a full frontal with a concrete barrier before, the old car stopped it easily without much Gs on me. One of the key features cars have in a full frontal is to lengthen the collision time by going up as we know from trigonometry that results in a longer path. However partial tests are more important if you care about road safety because thats whats going to happen if you hit a tree or have a head on collision and thats why this comparison shown in the video is incomplete or inconclusive. The heavier the vehicle the harder it will be to lift up as well in a full frontal to extend the crash duration. Ofcourse being crash incompatible is a problem but the cybertruck seems to have a lower bumper than the other display trucks that pretend to be a full semi. At least it isnt pretending to be a full semi.

It takes a tiny, insignificant, momentary lapse in muscle memory - not attention - muscle memory, and bam, you are now rocketing forward. I've had it happen once, for about a tenth of a second, and I nearly drove into traffic. One pedal creeping forward, decided I wouldn't make a gap safely, released the accelerator (causing full regen braking) and thought 'I wont stop in time with just regen' and put my foot down abruptly thinking it was the brake - since I was currently feeling braking forces while my foot was on *a* pedal.

Now make it 2-3x the weight, made out of some exotic stainless, plus batteries, and........ well, i wouldn't want to be in it in a crash, and certainly wouldn't want to deal with the high voltage and impossible to cut through body.

I've wondered about the rigidity of the frame. Cars in the old days were like that and during collisions the force was transfered directly to the passengers resulting in crashes where the car survived but the passengers didn't. They decided people's lives were more important and cars were redesigned to have crumple zones which absorbed and redirected the energy around and away from the occupants.
@domosrage54344 місяці тому
I think the car is rigid since its intended to be a viable vehicle in space conditions. (even though 99.9% of people will never even get close to space) I'd be interested in seeing how much force is applied to the passengers in these cyber truck collisions, because a major factor in safety isn't just crumple zones, but seat belts and airbags too. Crumple zones were applied before proper seat belts or airbags became standard, so we must keep that in mind as well when talking about older cars and safety

I assure you, the spleen is weaker than the spine. Don't know who needed to learn that, but there it is. So yeah... This mess looks like a deathtrap for everyone involved.

1) IMO, a head-on collision with a similar vehicle traveling at the same speed is essentially the same as hitting an immovable object. 2) Why would the front overlap collision dissipate energy easier than a full frontal crash? They have the same amount of energy to dissipate and the full frontal crash spreads the energy absorption over a much larger crumple zone. It seems like the front overlap collision would go much farther toward the driver, which is the side we are seeing and what we should be most worried about.

Also, the Hummer EV hasn't had viral videos of its "frunk" guillotining finger like objects or using the door panel to peel vegetables. Also, I'd like to take issue with your point of "do you really think that Tesla, who has built some of the safest cars on the road, would just forget these things?" Yes, yes I do. Companies with great safety records become complacent all the time. Boeing went from safest planes in the sky to planes that literally flew themselves into the ground due to a programming error. Toyota at one point went from being known as one of the safest cars on the planet to a company that couldn't measure floor mats properly, causing the accelerator to get stuck. Almost every major airline has had at least one major crash that happened because they got complacent in their routine maintenance because they took their safety record for granted. Almost every major tech company has suffered a data breech after they took their security record for granted. I could absolutely see Tesla getting arrogant enough to believe that they had mastered safety and thus didn't have to worry about it anymore.

When that thing is loaded up it takes a long ass time to speed up or slow down and other drivers can be jerks and you just have to deal with it. These large consumer trucks are nothing in comparison and I'd certainly rather drive a vehicle that's responsive enough to either speed up or slow down when I need to like they do than drive a more standard commercial vehicle. Accidents that happen because of bad drivers are because of bad drivers and to fix it people should be held responsible and learn to drive or not be allowed to, there's no reason to suddenly blame those "large vehicles" that aren't even the worst thing someone who has a license should be expected to be able to drive responsibly.

Actually, the worst thing about the crash test is how the driver dummy's had snaps back with force after hitting the airbag, something that *does not* happen in the F150 test you compared it to. There are videos out there analyzing exactly these two tests and in the F150 video it takes a lot longer for the driver's head to come to a full stop, which means less impact, and less trauma. This part was considered bad for the F150 (one of the less successful aspects in its test) so it must be much worse for the Cybertruck. Also, you might want to mention that its design makes it illegal to drive in EU, since unlike the US they have proper pedestrian safety laws, with which the CYbertruck is not compliant, while the F150 is.

The dummys head position means absolutely nothing without having the telemetry and sensor data. This is why you can't trust internet experts. The neck could just as easily be bending because its a different airbag, or a different seating position, or a different dummy. No real expert is going to draw these kinds of conclusions from a video clip without the sensor data. The actual crash testing groups look at the actual data. So, go look at what they rate the Cybertruck when its out and see what they rate it. Morons on the internet think that using stainless steel body panels somehow has ANYTHING to do with crumple zones. The part that does the crumpling is never the sheet metal. Its the crash beams and frame/subframe elements doing the crumpling. The Cybertruck has those just like any other vehicle. The fact that its sheetmetal doesn't bend and dent as much means exactly nothing.

Metaphorically, absolutely yes. Though I think that makes it sound cooler than it is - It absolutely wouldn't to last 5 seconds under even basic small arms fire.

What scares me is that people can't tell the accelerator from the break pedal any more.

immagine being a pedestrian getting hit by this at 30 kmh or a regular car... or getting T boned by this or a regular car.... or having your doors bent and batteries catching on fire during a crash, where firefighters have to cut the hard to cut steel or break the armored windows to get you out.

Honestly the fact that so many people have a license scares me. I mean until we have better public transport it’s probably essential in some situations, but at the same time the sheer danger of bad drivers feels like it’s ignored. We kind of just accept that a lot of car accidents occur without looking at the driving capabilities of people who have been in multiple accidents.

Yes, we accept that in exchange for personal freedom. Death is not the end. Stop being a coward.

@@clintpreslar452 It's about the same argument people have about whether we have souls or not. I just say if you are convinced that you have no soul, then maybe you don't. Maybe this world does consist of something metaphorically comparable to players and NPCs 🤭

The irony in the intro of this video is funny, a guy on the internet who is an “expert” saying other guys on the internet claiming to be experts are not in fact experts.

"Space grade stainless steel" with zero clear coat. Cybertruck Manual: To Prevent damage to the exterior, immediately remove corrosives substances (such as grease, oil, bird droppings, tree resin, dead insects, tar spots, road salt, industrial fallout.). So either pay the extra 5K to have the urethane-based film put on it, keep it garage parked or clean the truck every time you use it.

Not every time. And there are products that prolong the time needed between cleaning.

As a South Korean, I had never seen an American pickup truck, so I didn't understand why people were saying they were dangerous. That was until a neighbor of mine bought a Chevy Colorado. It made me wonder why these things aren't classified as weapons.
