Pedestrian impact feels too much like a category invented to boost the overall score for cars that do poorly in the important categories. Same with the rating on child seat connectors. A poorly designed car can get a boost in ncap by adding silly things to the hood and having childseat connectors for 3 different connector types. A car only really needs 1 connector type because you buy the seat that works with it and all seats can be installed with just a seatbelt too.

Not sure about the US, but around here, isofix is the standard for child seats, and if you believe those supported by the seat belts are just a safe then you should check some tests I guess safety features like automatic emergency braking are just pointless too?

@@gt5228z You only think it isn’t broken because people in the US would die either way after getting hit by a huge ass truck. But in Europe it makes an actual difference. The reason we have so many incidents involving pedestrians is that most people walk through city streets. In the US that is only true in a few cities. Your cities are build for driving every single time.

I think Europe has stricter pedestrian safety because people actually walk places here, in the US people look at you strange if you're trying to walk somewhere outside of a city because everywhere is giant roads and abandoned sidewalks. I felt really strange walking to a gas station to buy some food when I visited in 2016. 😅 Here it's very common to park on the outskirts of a town then walk in as parking is cheaper that way, or even use 'park and ride' systems where you park outside the town at a bus station and they transfer you in to the town.

People are even walking in Los Angeles; dwntwn Los Angeles and Hollywood are crowded with people walking. Cities that don't have reliable public transportation and or if the shops are not within walking distance of someone's home, these people must drive. The USA is a huge country with hundreds of small to medium cities without mass public transportation and that is because the auto industry can become rich.. All the large major cities in the USA have public transportation and people walk as well as drive.. NYC has at least 5 million people walking its streets any given day. DC has about 1 million people walking any given day...

I sense Sandy embracing being a little bit more of a troll and meme machine. I LIKE IT!

It’s not about pedestrians (or bicycles) getting hit more often or not in the EU. It’s about giving them a better chance of surviving - preferably without major injuries - if they get hit. Whether that happens 10 or 10000 pedestrians a year is irrelevant. Skipping pedestrian safety is like you not using your seatbelt; you pretty much never need it, except that one time you really wish you did as you fly through your windshield. Having said that, nice video and well explained! 👌🏻

The reason why we, in Europe, have a thing with pedestrians is that - as opposed to many regions of the US - we actually *have* people walking (and cycling) in significant numbers. (...and narrow roads where pedestrians will just cross willy-nilly if there's light traffic)

Volvo has stated a goal, no one should get hurt from a Volvo, inside or outside the car. I like that.

The reason for pedestrian accidents is European towns and cities encourage a mix of all road users... bikes, pedestrians, buses, trams in order to make them thrive. Shopping malls only started to exist in 1970s and have had a devastating effect on city centres. Great video.

Sidenote EU has a lower fatality rate for cyclist and pedestrians than US, partly because car manufacturers are incentivised to include external safety features in case you hit someone with your car.

There aren't more pedeastrian runovers in Europe than in the US. But the safety standard for those cases is higher. As cars keep getting bigger and bigger, people being runover tend to crush their heads on the hood. In the past the people got thrown into the glass. As a result with the european safety standard, the injuries on the head, especially with lower speeds, are not that severe.

I was thinking maybe there are likely more pedestrians and bikers in Europe per square mile/km due to higher population density. People in the US don't bike around as much, and allot of travel is done across long distances, excluding some old dense areas such as New York perhaps. But when looking at the statistics of pedestrian casualties, I'm seeing data showing that the US is indeed falling behind in this area, in fact the gap seems to be growing, so that doesn't seem to match my initial assumption. Maybe another factor could be more reckless driving in the states, maybe it could be tied in some fashion to higher crime statistics, or maybe it's something else I'm not aware of that would balance out the population density factor.

And European countries already have their fair share of big cars on the roads.

Removable fuses and relays are incredibly useful when diagnosing electrical system failures. It is bad enough that manufactures integrate relays into the modules. I can imagine the headache of trying to do electrical diagnosis on a car without removable fuses. Sandy obviously has no vehicle repair experience, and it seem like most suggestions to reduce cost and assembly time come at the expense of maintenance and repair time or cost.

There are at least eight different ampere choices. 4) If a Tesla "fuse" _blows_, get out your smartphone and reset the fuse!
