This is eye-opening. My mom has always complained about cars not being designed with women in mind.

On the other hand, I, as a 5'10" man, am still short enough to fit in the back seat of many larger coupes but tall enough to not have to reach for anything. I didn't realize, however, that other physical differences are ignored, such as bone density and (probably) physical strength, not to mention seat belts fitting my flat chest and never-to-be-full-of-fetus abdomen much better. The differences are much deeper than I realized.

The head hitting the pillar was for the small overlap crash test (1/4 of the front of the car hits the barrier). That small overlap crash was conducted by the IIHS and it was rated a "Poor" result for that test. When the video mentions the car scored a 4, they were talking about the NHTSA and NCAP tests, which are DIFFERENT tests from the IIHS, and they do not perform the small overlap crash (each company does a different set of tests), so they did not see that same result. Also, overall crash result is based on several combined tests, so while it may have failed in one area, other areas (ie. full frontal crash, roof strength, side crash, etc.) may have helped pull up the score to a 4 out of 5. When buying a car, it's best to check crash results from different organizations, since they all test different things and several of the tests do not overlap.

@@kamX-rz4uy I believe that is also a major factor in the high mortality rate of the Mirage. Real Engineer mentioned woman has 47% higher serious injury rate. The Mirage's feminine design is clearly aiming toward woman/elder people. I don't think it's a very popular car design among men. It's surprising he never mentioned this aspect.

I suspect the Mirage (and a few other compact cars) have high casualty rates for several factors, including - they're often driven in cities (more traffic, more accidents per mile); - they're often driven by learner drivers (more accidents per mile); and - they're often hit by heavier cars (in which case, it's the heavier car that's less safe). There will be genuine drawbacks too - eg a lower budget may mean lower-quality materials - and naturally if the Mirage is literally top of the table, it's also done worse than the other compacts. Still, I suspect a lot of the casualty rate is down to how compacts are used, rather than how safe they are inherently. Insurance companies (or Google) have the data for a real like-for-like analysis...

@LRM12o8

2 жыл бұрын

It's a mix of both. Many economy cars skimp out on safety features und use less rigid materials for body and chassis to be cheaper, they often have underpowered engines that make it much harder to evade dangerous situations, if you need to quickly accelerate to get out of the way and of course they're often driven by beginners or people who don't enjoy driving at all (no wonder with these cars) and thus don't put enough effort in their driving. But no amount of quality engineering and safety features can negate the disadvantage in weight that these cars have in a crash. Which is the paradox of small cars: they're more prone to heavy impacts, because they're small and light, but if you blame that on small cars and say they're less safe because of that, then the logical conclusion would be that everyone should buy the biggest heaviest cars "for safety", which would quickly lead to cars getting bigger and heavier and traffic would get less and less safe for anyone who is not driving a car as cars steadily turn into trucks and then into freaking tanks!

The first thing that needs to be fixed is driver education.

Lovely video! I thought of some additions: Don't forget that small cars like the Mirage are used as city-brawlers, which means low average speed, so more time spending driving whithout adding much mileage, in an environment thats most likely to provoke an accident. Big cruisers are mostly driving on a highway or, like trucks, in a rural environment, so they are less likely to hit other cars frontally or sideways on. One big safety issue in the desingn of a car is missing in this video: Pedestrian-safety, probably the most likely reason the Cybertruck will not get released as it is right now. I don't want to get hit by an unyielding metalblock with a sharp edge on the hight of my neck.

The thing with the Mitsubishi is, while i agree that it might be driven mostly in city traffic as you wrote, that also means lower speeds which ususally means less injuries in accidents. But the statisctic he found said that it had the most fatalities of vehicle occupants. So people inside the car died in accidents. That is quite unusual for urban accidents.

@raceman9586

4 жыл бұрын

@@nirfz Yes, urban areas actually have a lower death/injury rate than suburban or rural areas, not more. The very high density of intersections actually helps you because of the slower speed. The mirage probably does very poorly because most americans live in suburban areas where they need to drive at higher speeds and with lots of larger trucks. The urban environment still has pick-ups, but they are much less common. (SUVs are common everywhere now, but tend to be smaller driven less aggressively) Also keep in mind that the mirage is one of the cheapest, if not THE cheapest, car sold in america. The most urban areas of this country are also some of the most expensive places to live. Of course urban areas also have better public transit, so the people buying a mirage are probably more likely living in suburban or rural areas, despite it being a "City car". American cities are still very spacious and if someone wants a car best suited for the city they are probably looking at a compact crossover or a sedan. You really don't need a car as tiny as the mirage in america, even in the densest parts of the city.

The issue being outlined in the video is that current crash testing is unrepresentative of half of the population. Remember: physically "weak" and "strong" can't be plotted on a straight line. Women might withstand some impacts better than others, and their mortality/injury rate relative to men probably varies wildly depending on the type of accident. These agency's jobs is to quantify the risks a car will pose to their occupants, and use that data to rank the vehicles on the market relative to each other. You can't do that without a representative dummy, and saying "you shouldn't drive because it's dangerous" is not within their job descriptions.

Their neck is literally strapped down and prevented from moving freely by something called the HANS system. Then there is the stuff apart from the car. They wear a flame retardant suit that is hot and cumbersome and a full face helmet. The walls at the racetracks have something called 'softwalls' at key areas which are materials specially designed to safely absorb car impact energy. Lastly, racecar drivers are incredibly skilled at driving.

So, driving to work the other day in a 65 MPH speed zone in some pretty nasty fog, the "animals" were out, tailgating, speeding, and lane weaving, even with really really poor visibility. So, you can make the cars safer, but you can't fix stupid. (Fire trucks cleaning up the accident sites tended to slow traffic in several places....)

I used to have a job in automotive safety (automation features such as automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control) though left it due to frustrations with lack of innovation and ethics. Thanks for bringing this to more people's attention.

My first thought when I saw the unsafest car was "that looks like an old person car". Perhaps that could explain why is statistically higher when it comes to injury. 1) Old people will be more likely to be in an accident and 2) will be more likely to be injured in a car accident than a younger (and more durable) person would be in that same accident.

NCAP star ratings have never meant all that much since they always move the goalposts as cars get safer. Add to that the fact that if a car doesn't have automatic braking it loses a star, then they are more or less meaningless now. The occupant safety ratings might be okay, but I don't know if they have moved the goalposts there too. My point is that they shouldn't have put an arbitrary cap on the amount of safety one can have.

Mostly what's going on is that Tesla are going to sell this as a truck, which in the US don't need to meet passenger car crash safety regulations. This is also why the F150 pickup is such as good seller in the US - it's much cheaper for the amount of vehicle you get because it doesn't have to meet the same economy or safety regulations. I don't think there's anything definite yet (Given there are no safety tests results at all for the Tesla truck, but there's a pretty good chance it can't be sold in Europe at all because it's depending on the crumple zone of everything it hits and it's superior weight to keep it's occupants alive at the expense of everyone else on the road. If manufacturers and governments really wanted to reduce driver/passenger deaths in cars in the most cost effective way possible, they'd make crash helmets mandatory, but that might remind people just how dangerous the speeds cars can travel at actually are and maybe make people rethink car dependency in the first place.

That list of most deaths highlights a major issue. Cars like the Mirage and Honda Fit are topping the charts not because they are dangerous cars, but because they stand the worst chance of surviving a crash with a giant SUV or pickup truck. This shows that the cars that actually cause the most deaths and injuries to all road users are not penalized for it. If anything, this penalizes smaller cars that would do less damage to other cars or pedestrians, despite them being objectively safer for all road users. This is one of the many reasons why large SUVs and Trucks are so deadly.

Thankyou for this vlog and channel.

The engineering of cars safety has significantly improved over the years. But one fundamental problem remains: they design the cars to protect the passengers-the people in the cars-but not the people outside of them. This significantly affects our relationship with transportation. Since safety increases inside cars and decreases outside of them, it makes it way more dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists. You only need to look at the numbers to see how this has gone up. This in turn creates a negative feedback loop where people are driving more because of their safety, which makes it more dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists, which makes more people drive even more, and so on and so forth. This reminds me of one of Batman's infamous lines: "I'm willing to put my life on the line to do what I have to. But it has to be mine, no one else's". I need transportation to get from A to B; it is essential to everyone's life. But if it comes at the cost of other people's lives, then I'm not accepting it.

Another overlooked area of safety is seat back failures. In crashes involving certain rear end collisions, the front seat backs can collapse causing the front seat occupants to slip out of their restraints and can cause injuries to them and the rear seat passengers. Sadly, because children are typically the passengers in the rear, and are most vulnerable to injuries, some are badly injured. Certain US lawmakers have been trying to force the manufacturers to put emphasis on the design and testing of the seat backs, but little progress has been made. My recommendation for selecting a used or new vehicle to purchase is to google 'seatback failure lawsuit' and include the year make and model of the vehicle. The search results may surprise you. Example: 'seat back failure lawsuit 2002 Lexus ES300'

from what I remember hearing about car design from a engineer talking to a mother who lost her son in a crash, when she asked why couldn't the car have been made to withstand such a crash. It's that you really can't design cars to be safe and practical for certain situations . Like a compact car getting hit by a ford f150 going like 50 mph, the people inside the compact are almost always going to die. Or just making a car reliably safe in a crash at highway speeds, like it hits a wall or something that would stop it fast. it's why most testing is done around speeds and situations you'd find in cities and residential areas. Not to mention often pitting the car against itself or similar sized vehicles, since after a certain point you just find the heavy vehicles just annihilate the light ones. Plus gotta take in account that most accidents are preventable since they are the fault of the driver or a driver involved. And well you can't design against stupid, since easier you make something the more powerful stupid will become.

Almost all car fatalities are caused by human error, yet so many "real drivers" hate the idea of giving the wheel over to autonomous cars.

Basic physics: if you choose the smallest car, than every other larger car is likely to dish out more damage to your car. So, in a small car, your risk is exponentially higher. Think, demolition derby, and choose accordingly.

Fun fact: the ratings for wet tire traction are based on locked tires despite all cars since 2000 being legally required to have ABS in the USA. It's why the Michelin Cross Climate gets a B rating (the worst rating for some reason) despite having superior rain traction to pretty much every other tire.

As far as I know, the cars safety is assessed within it's weight class, hence why a Mirage gets 4 stars.....

Yes, and worse. The evidence may be that the occupants of the mirage are the most vulnerable but we should distinguish between occupants being vulnerable and how "dangerous" the vehicle is. If not, then push-bikes should be outlawed for being dangerous and we should all drive tanks.

I have to agree, this video was below the usual standard. The cybertruck bit was forced in to just make a jab at it and was entirely unrelated to anything. It only covered the US system while the majority of cars are sold globally and have to pass and be rated by various systems. NCAP was mentioned at the end which is used by many more countries and is a lot better as well as being a constantly evolving rating. For example, it is now impossible to achieve the highest rating without an auto-brake system. It also tests with female and child dummies. It felt like just a way to complain about the american testing system in the guise of science except without any sort of conclusion.

He is talking about how hard and how many variables you have to consider when answering these questions.

I think the point of this video is that there are so many variables when it comes to determining the safety of a vehicle, yet there are not nearly enough tests being conducted. In other words, it's impossible to answer that question because there is surprisingly little data on the matter.

Well, our country isn't obsessed with trucks; we just have A LOT of rural areas, and if you've ever lived out here in one of these rural areas, you find out real fast that pickups are unrivaled and the superior vehicle, even if it's just for the towing capability. Go into the cities and denser suburbs, and you'll see pickups become far and few. Out where I live, it's not an exaggeration to say every other vehicle you see on the road is either a pickup truck, or a SUV with AWD or 4x4. The remaining half of the vehicles are almost all minivans, with some sedans and coupes sprinkled in. I can't remember the last time I saw a Prius out here, or any super tiny car like that. There's no point; gas is cheap, and enough roads are gravel or dirt that I wouldn't want to drive something meant 100% for city crawling. Even if it was lifted and AWD, I still wouldn't drive a compact because I'm 6'4", plus there's the safety concern about being hit by something more than double your mass. At least in my minivan my mass is enough to give me a chance.

When does he do this? I hope you mean the NHTSA.

Perhaps, instead of rating safety with a star system, they just say how high among all cars a car ranks. If there's, say, 600 different cars sold in the US, the window sticker on a Tesla Model S would say Safety: #1 out of 600, on a Mitsubishi Mirage would say Safety: #600 out of 600, and on something like a Toyota Camry would say Safety: #58 out of 600.

As a Mirage owner, I would wager that a major factor which contributes to higher fatalities is poor acceleration. The car is perfectly safe for freeway driving, but many drivers in the United States do not understand how to operate a 3-cylinder car safely. You can not pull out in front of a vehicle that is at speed and expect to get away.
