Fifth Gear: Volvo 2020 Protective Car Plan 

Arc A why did you even go 150kph not being rude

TheNotebook Animators he probably lives in germany there you are allowed to deive this fast and there 150kph isn’t fast ;)

That's true, I am living in Germany and there are no speed limits, 150kph is nothing. In Poland you can drive max.140kph but everyone is driving 160-200 😂

AA I don't believe you.

A A Volvo does really care about their safety.

well, I know what to do tonight.

Wezy MH good research

Dying from corona in a volvo doesn't count

@@blu_melon4228 🤔 and what would that be? 🧐

Just Luke Bosch!)):👍

Grandpa get a Ford

@@Korbantommy What?

@@Korbantommy get a dick.

Egactly sound man went to top gear😂

Yes, stay home! Lol

i too

Same.

That’s deep

Always nice to think about the invention being made open for anyone else to use, Volvo thought about eceryones safety and not just their customers. Thank you Nils Bohlin!

@@Helperbot-2000 Nils probably saved as many lives as any other human in history!

Robert Lloyd Yes, they do but about a few months ago, a woman (she was drunk) died when Volvo's selfdriving taxi crashed. But I still think they are going to make Volvo as safe as possible.

Nermin Djapo That was Uber’s Fault, Not Volvo. It was Uber’s self driving system that stopped working, and the driver wasn’t paying attention.

IamTheStig03 Thats true but still; she died and everyone says its Volvo's fault but it isn't. I think the same as you; its Über's fault and not Volvo's.

It has recently been revealed that there have been no UK deaths in the XC90 since 2004 ... - So it looks like they actually are about to reach their goal.

Per Hougaard That will be a big achievement.

City Safety on V90 can (in dry road conditions) stop the car up to 80 km/h, at a stationary car. But, if you go faster, the car will not be able to stop completely but it will reduce the speed. And, we do not know HOW he crashed - did he swerve late? Was it slippery? Did he drive like an idiot (most probably, because no one driving as you should could ever miss and hit a TMA-truck!). And nothing is fail safe - nothing. Especially not humans. I know one guy - travelling in an urban area and suddenly a kid runs out in the street. He didn't even know what happened and the car stopped, avoiding to hit the child. That Is Awesome!

This comment couldn’t have been more accurate lmao

2020 sucks

Not best, but one of the safest, if not the safest.

@@aidan1585 Honestly theres an arguement that it's the best, especially when you look at their history and how many of their innovations are now common place or even legally required.

@@north5103 I know

Go back 2020 is shit

Nick Stalburg well no the car has a strong roof you just need to get out as fast as you can and if you do not have a strong roof you will get fully crushed

Go back 2020 is shit

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand NOW!

@@nikolanikola8543 no, it's centre. One is a type of building or establishment, one is the middle of something

@@blazeclarke CENTER

@@nikolanikola8543 are you American? I'm English. We have different spellings, that might be the reason for the confusion.

@@blazeclarke No, I'm not American, I'm actually Croatian and most of the people here speak English as a second language and I never heard of someone spelling "Center" like "Centre"... Maybe I just wasn't paying attention!

Arc A Nice. I appreciate the quality of the crash worthiness in this situation. An Aussie road train probably weighs 3 times as much and has a big steel 'bull bar' on the front. Nice result to crash though.

This Volvo XC70 has destroyed this small road train :) Volvo driver had no scratch too.

But with this big australian or canadian road train I think that volvo passengers should be still alive. Hard to say.

Bullshit! The A pillar shifted at 40 mph in IIHS. Unless you had full frontal then maybe.

@@gabesmath105 yep I went right through the side of the other car mine was t4 much more solid that the standard s40 and it cost £49,000 new

No one has been killed in an XC90 in the UK. The car was introduced there in 2004. 15 years and NO ONE! I think that is, amazing!

@@Xanthopteryx No one has been killed in a Bugatti Chiron in the UK... Now lemme explain, the XC90 costs 52 grand and isn't even in the top 50 most sold cars. If it sold like a Ford Focus, I'm certain that we'd see deaths.

@@akj2387 Well... Over 50.000 XC90 has been sold in the UK. And still, no one died in an XC90. It is not 1. It is 0! And yes, safety development cost money, but this has been a success since a new Volvo is the darn safest production car you can buy. And the new XC40 is even more safe. Just look how they designed the structure of a Volvo. It is amazing! And down to the smallest detail, to make it safer. As an example: Did you know what a car have a pyrotechnic device at the top (..and that is placed at the bottom) of the seat belt? Where the reel is attached, to tension the belt in an accident. A Volvo have TWO pyro devices on the seat belt - one at the top like all other but also one at the bottom (you know, between the door and the seat where it s attached). Why? Because it is safer... It gives a better tension on the belt and that minimises the risk of injury. There are a lot of those small details that make a huge different.

@@akj2387 it's sold just under a million XC90s and has 0 deaths so it is very impressive

That's not really that amazing because it just goes to show if you're rich you can buy safety- what would be amazing if Volvo could do this on. the cheap thus wiping outnthencomoetition

Minanshu M about 75 years old.

It was shot in 2010

About 100,000,000,000 years old.

r/thathappened

Actually it was more like 180 or 190.

If Tesla scores better it's because of it's battery rather than anything else...

@@dallysinghson5569 Tesla is just more rigid, doesn't mean it's safer. For the side pole test on Teslas, although there was less intrusion, the forces were higher.

R.I.P Saab

2 years passed

Crashes yes - but their vision is that no one should be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo.

It's 2020 now!

Yes.

Dragon Butt cite at least 12 academic sources

Because it'll still hurt you. Are you stupid?

You can still suffer broken bones, bruising, etc. The whole point is to still be a alive. How are you this stupid

😊 because saab has no cars

Finn Williamson what?

Moe Lester IKR!

Why? PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY DIED. Of what value are 12 (and why specifically 12) academic sources when score claim has been shown not true

Noooo no automatics pleaaaaase xD I absolutely HATE automatics..

@@karperman14 How can you hate auto's? They make life easier and good auto gearboxes last a long time. No clutch, dual mass fly wheel, synchromesh, clutch bearing etc to go wrong. Ok if you want a fun sporty car then manual is better, but for daily driving auto wins :)

99 ron Americans only want automatic transmissions, but they don't like 4 cyl engines in these heavy safe Volvo cars. I am reading about noisy engines in the recent Volvos. Stick with 5 or 6 cylinder but I don't think that will happen, A premium car like Volvo deserves better. quality engine.

@@fredwiley3731 Theres nothing wrong with 4 cylinder engines though. Most Saabs were 4 cylinder, Jeep Cherokee, most Honda and Toyotas. Most cars the world over are probably 4 cylinder. I think its just the old American way of thinking, maybe 4 cylinders were weak in the 60's, but now they are eco, reliable, strong powerful engines.

No one wants a square car. Hideous stuff
