Heads up! At 8:09, the subtitles say "fund inmates" - that's a mistranslation! We meant "rear seat passengers." Our apologies for the goof-up.

I like how they tested the readability of different instrument cluster designs.

Is Cheri Cheri Lady a new safety feature for the backseat? (Just kidding, but thanks for the comment!)

LOL the translation is hilarious in places. The script writers clearly just looked up the English words in a German/English dictionary without any grasp of the language. There are a lot of goof-ups but the funniest is at 8:09 when showing head and neck restraint research for rear seat passenges. The narration goes: "in order to protect fund inmates", which is a literal translation from the German "zum Schutz der Fond-Insassen" but is really supposed to mean "to protect rear seat passengers".

Haha, you're right! Looks like the subtitles took a wrong turn at "Schutz." But hey, at least they're passionate about protecting... well, everyone! Thanks for pointing that out, it definitely gave me a chuckle.

Human BEINGS!
