Real life safety. Euroncap only test one type of frontal collision, like they do here: Direct frontal 180 deg. with overlap. Volvo and Saab were known to analyze real life accidents, and use that knolege to make safer cars. Most other brands, including Renault, are only interested in the stars from tests like Euroncap. I miss Saab - good Volvo is still arround, most of the design and development are still done in sweden, despite some chineese ownership.
@vonsauerkraut Clearly you have been smart enough to write what you think is a clever reply.... Without actually looking at the battery chemistry OR the batteries used in the Tesla Model Y.... Same as your smart reply is OK for two Nissan Leafs or two E-Mustangs.... But since 2022 all major battery manufacturers have been changing to batteries that can be massively impacted with no effect. Try looking up the newest Gold 800v System, that goes from ICE to Furnace to impact & still works... You are out of date and eventually everyone will also learn of the new chemistries. Which of course had to happen as safety with the old batteries wasn't anywhere near good enough.
I'll believe it when they stop spontaneous combusting@@mikadavies660 At the moment minor fender benders are writing them off. Wasteful and unsustainable.
In a collision between two cars at 60 mph, the relative velocity is 120 mph. However, the kinetic energy in this scenario is not equivalent to a single car colliding with a stationary object at 120 mph. The dynamics of the collision, the distribution of forces, and other factors come into play.
@@adrienadrien5940 It is not a mirror, but another object with opposite momentum (m times v) which can be expressed with a vector (direction). It definitely has more impact
@@maus3454 nop, from a stand point, let say the point of contact between the two vehicles there is twice the cinetic energy but twice the crumple zone, in terms of acceleration that completely symmetrical therefore in term of force as well. You won't be able to differcenciate a crash between 2 identical vehicles from a crash with 1 vehicle in a mirror
Thank you for sharing these old episodes. This is the first Fifth Gear episode I watched all those years ago when I was 10 or 11. Haven't seen it since, I remember the XJ road test well and I've since owned an 4.2 XJ, only a dream back then to a 10 year old. Thank you again!
Fifth gear were grown up acting as grown ups. TogGear were men who looked like they are grown up but the are just grade 8 boys and they acted as grade 8 boys. Because inside every man there is a grade 8 boy fascinated with cars and enjoys childish humour Tog Gear is still going on even when the name has just flipped from TG to GT it is still the same.
