Tesla Crash Lab | Data-Driven Safety 

For sure. Great production quality on this video too. Well worth the money to continue making videos like this about other areas of the company.

The cars themselves are the ads.

Elon sees ads as a dated way of making people aware of your product and he's right. We live in the information age where if someone needs or wants something they look it up on the internet for reviews so the best way to advertise is to make a superior product and let the customers do the talking.

exactly what I thought. Once Production exceeds demand they should be running stuff like this as ads

Ye

Update for free, don't forget it.

Same manufacturer that sold "Full Self Driving" packages years before they even developed it

@@lopypop Yes they sold FSD packages that will one day be worth +$150k for between $2k and $10k depending on the features that were added to it, such assholes -_-

@@lopypop Actually they sold the BETA version of FSD. You seem to neglect to state that. It isn't FULL SELF DRIVING. It is a BETA, and ALL customers KNOW IT before they buy it. What they do after they buy it is their own responsibility. Stop trolling and go back to your basement.

@@justlooking4202 time will tell 👍 FSD is locked to vehicles and many of the first purchases are almost 5 years old at this point. $150k software on a 100,000 mile car surely won't sell for that much...

having knowledge is important

Why else would MS pushed out their newest Gov Win 11OS? Better know as WInMe-11. 😬

Correct

Engineering driven design, as redundant as it may seem, is what you have here. Other auto companies like Volvo have some data, but what you are seeing here is the result of a great ecosystem that Tesla is for engineering. You have the focus on safety, product quality and talent engineers that Tesla culture has. The focus on creating the best product for the least amount of money. Even if you don't want to have autopilot your Tesla still have all the sensors needed for that, driving down cost. I can give you much more examples of great design decisions, but it all comes down to the mindset embedded on Tesla culture. You may have enough data to do this on other automakers, but the inovation culture and safety mindset inside Tesla is not present there. Give all that data to the "Tesla killers" and wait for this kind of application that you see here...

Same here, on both time in IT and my feelings looking at what is being done now. The scope of software engineering has changed so much, I feel a little jealous of those entering the field today. So many great challenges are now open to them.

@@mattmcc72 What would be the best thing to work on now?

but all your work has led to this.

Same, I work in computer vision and their RNN features are just lightyears ahead. I wish we could access more of it, even if it was just for research purposes.

I appreciate your input in order to help me understand just how evolved Tesla really is. Thanks!!

Yeah that's insane isn't it?

I'm not sure how exactly an ota update can make a car safer unless it's too fix airbags from deploying lol

@@FusionBoost2.0 because the car is designed to have software defined features rather than hardware bits that can't be changed in software. So to change the behaviour of how the car reacts to a crash is done with software and controlled by a central system that can be updated over the air. It can then tell the safety elements a new way to deploy in a new type of crash or situation.

@@FusionBoost2.0 Sometimes aribags deploying can hurt you. If someone rear ends you, you dont want the airbags to deploy you know.

@@meriofrog and they won't, cars are smart these days you know... Not just Tesla's

Sup smr, I wonder what type of accident and location is most common for Teslas? What a cool video right? I hope you do a video on it? I wonder if an airbag in the frunk and trunk would help absorb impacts at all?

And not to forget - profit

Good source for a SMP video. BTW - Did you notice if the crash test Gordon was wearing a bow tie?

They are the only company that purposely exceeds the 5 star safety rating. Years ago the industry pushed NHTSA to say there is no rating above 5 stars. Tesla's response was to show their math and then NHTSA shut the hell up.

Tesla doesn't need to be told to do this by a regulation, unlike the other automakers.

When Tesla can demonstrate their cars are significantly safer than the competition people will have a major reason for buying one.

Unless you sit in emergency vehicle. Am I right? Horrible company, even worse CEO.

@@Frank72364 troll some where else

@@masochistboy653 Why?

@@Frank72364 Lmao 😂😂😂

yes

Your comment got stolen by some verified dude

First rule of showbiz- always leave ‘em wanting more 😂

For real. The amount of engineering they do that I as a long-term investor am still discovering, is crazy. This dedication is the kind of the great surprises in functionality Tesla owners are constantly experiencing & raving about.

Elon Musk, infinity, and beyond!

probably just for the video

@@iKingRPG I don't think so. I think there's a purpose behind that. A cleaner car is easier to see precisely. The more the car can be exactly as in the simulation, the more you can test the accuracy of the prediction. That's my guess and the reasoning behind it.

@@theuncalledfor yeah you might be right

"Ok Dave, your job is to polish and wax the car" "But... aren't we just going to total it?" "Dave, it needs to look good ok? Stop asking questions"

@@paulhansen8052 This doesn't sound like the Tesla way. I imagine this conversation: "Dave, what are you doing there polishing the car?" "Boss, I do it because I can and it's the right thing to do."

@Virginia Lynn Thomas Reese MCVLTRAIX He said it on stage at Giga Berlin last weekend. Check the videos, which are many. He even rolled his eyes as it appeared he thought of how they try so hard, but sometimes people don't realize how much they do.He really believes in building the best possible product. "I mean, why would you build a bad product?"

Lie about products, lie about the environmentally friendliness of their manufacturing facilities, sue people that speak poorly about tesla. Sounds like a great company!

@@johnn8549 Still caught in the fud?

@@johnn8549 While none of this is true, I am not remotely sure where you got 'sue people that speak poorly about tesla'. For if this was true, this comment would not be here.

@@Mexdys lmfao

@@Mexdys I think he is talking about top gear coverage on Tesla. Where Tesla sued them for bad coverage

And maybe they found some black people to give it soul.

They just have experience in crashing! :D

Was gonna point that out too. Too bad he doesn't know how to wear a mask properly. :p

@@rzu7120 wtf lol

Regarding polishing the paint, NHTSA does the same before a test crash. They touch the car a lot to prepare it for the crash, and if the car is not clean it's harder to notice on video how exactly each panel deforms. Also, if you're filming it, make it look good!

Because it's the right thing to do...! 😁

and that they let the truck hit a wall right after the crash

Volvo

Welcome to the future bro... Also car manufacturers can do this but they don't.. coz they want u to spend money on the next year's product

@@kihbjcjdjd7022 No lol . Volvo's are safe but they don't get safer with software update

@@yash_jivrajani indeed, I'm waiting for giga Berlin to start as I live in the UK and want a Model Y

@@pareshpanchal91 yes bro..! Great to hear that.. I'm eagerly waiting for indian gov to resolve some hurdles for Tesla.. it's gonna be a true test if Teslas able to crack indian traffic and enhance the autonomy

Yep. Perception is subjective, but facts and data are not. Good work Tesla and Mr. MUSK.

The *ironic* reality - "full" self-driving is in beta testing and Tesla refuses to provide 3rd party repair shops with spare parts, has software locks-outs and doesn't support Right To Repair.

@@em0_tion I like Right To Repair as an ideal but it's a nuanced subject. Who is going to be liable if an amateur repairman introduces fire or safety issues in the car during repair? Certainly the OEM should not be liable for that. Same goes for software - if a hacker screws up or introduces software defect in a critical competent the OEM should not be held liable for damage or warranty or future OTA fixes. Even if the repairman or DIY person is ready to take up the liability, the company still suffers bad publicity in news media if something bad happens because of the faulty repair or software tweak. Is the repairman gonna pay for the damage to the brand caused by an incident? I feel bad for the mechanics and repair enthusiast but the reality of the time is that cars are getting more complicated, and the sophistication required for post-repair testing and validation can't be democratized without added costs, which most repairmen can't afford, let alone the ownership of liability.

@@mydutube It's not a right we're just getting introduced to, it's a right we had and lost because of corporate greed under the *pretext* of personal safety and our silence. Speaking of liability, how is Tesla allowed to falsely market and sell a *beta* option for $10K as a "full" feature, yet when idiots crash into a tree while drinking in the car with autopilot on, we're all fine and dandy with those news? It's tech made by humans for humans, and not sharing knowledge that affects safety is only hurting us from poorly made fixes, not preventing them.

Let's push some replies so it is featured and more people are aware of the safety of Tesla vehicles and not some fud from the media

It's one of the best things about both Tesla and SpaceX. No market droids, no ads, no hosts, just put the engineers in front of a camera and let them talk.

And they disable supercharging access to tesla cars which are repairable in an accident

What about traffic

@@m.krishnanunni Thats what autonomy and giving drivers safety scores should help with.

But companies should also think about their employees as they are human too.

@@Ayush-nn3em I've heard from Tesla employees who say they love their job, im there's always good and bad things about every company.

Excellent job, this is the wave of the young generation sweeping the old one

What a life you must have.

@@rzu7120 Ah shit! Here we go again. Can't express my love for Tesla on the internet without some toxic comment or the other.

@@swarajnanda7874 It sounds like a toxic relationship that controls every minute of your life.

@@rzu7120 Wow, so powerful, you are! Bow before the king.

No wonder people hate you Tesla people, it's absolutely stupid and idiotic comments like this lol

@@FusionBoost2.0 If you where to were able to educate yourself properly in regards to what Tesla and what they do to help and do it with being objective you would find it isn't stupid or idiotic. What is stupid and idiotic are the the people who hate Tesla who dont bother to look at facts and figures and information in regards to what Tesla do. Also please tell why it's idiotic and stupid to say that Tesla can improve the safety of there cars via over the air updates? No other automaker can improve their cars like this, also the only reason why modern cars are as safe as they are is because regulations made them do by law which they tried to resist. It's also the same with emission regulations and building EV's.

@@DoughnutsInspace And you do know Volvo invented the 3 point safety belt, there was no regulation in place at that time but innovated in order to save lives. Companies started developing airbags since the 70s in use in cars for safety, only became mandated in the 98, all Fords has a driver air bag basically in 1990. Automakers have been thriving to make cars safer for decades... Look at Volvo! Been doing crash tests and the head of automotive safety since forever. Regulations got better because customers and the industry needed and demanded it and all the automakers have innovated and evolved since. All the legacy auto companies have developed basically all the safety tech we see today... You talk like automakers do just enough to meet government regulations but yet pass them and beat more stringent iihs and eurocap regulations. Stop acting like Tesla is doing something special here by building a safe car. The only thing their doing is able to tweak parameters OTA... Legacy auto RCM modules are extremely high tech and monitor eveything from steering angle, seat track position, impact force, weight you name it in order to determine how to deploy air bags etc I would like to see what these OTA updates actually do

@@DoughnutsInspace I found this online about Musk talking about their safety system with Joe Rogan "Those different data points include how much you weigh, where on the seat you are sitting, if you’re a baby/toddler/adult based on the pressure distribution on the seat, and even the probability of your gender. The computer then takes all this information and “dynamically updates” how it would deploy the airbags in an accident. And it does this all in real-time, and in fractions of a second." You do know all modern cars monitor all these data points when it comes to air bag deployment? Their safety system are basically the same as anyone else

@@FusionBoost2.0 Yeah they might monitor, but do they look at crash data from the cars to get a better understanding of real world crashes compared to whats required by lab testing? By doing that you can tweak passive and active safety systems on a regular basis and push out updates to keep the car safer. No other company can do this that I am aware of, also other companies that claim they can do OAU's are stretching the truth as any update that's major needs to go to a service centre for it to be done, a Tesla doesn't. Tesla can do a OAU on any system and do so on a regular basis. Take the Jaguar I Pace, that's meant to have OAU updates and only rolled out 3 in the last 3yrs. Even VW with their ID rage are still having software issues and treated Teslas as a joke just a meeting because they now know how far behind Tesla they are and are currently panicking. Also the VW Passat built in China has one of the worst safety test ratings due to the lax safety laws. Oh and because some African countries don't have high safety regulations or emission controls you will find VW send out polluting unsafe cars there and then there's the emission cheating and conspiracy to try and low emission standards by the big German auto companies have been caught out doing. Even the American auto companies are trying to lower emission regulations. So sorry no I will not give them any slack in any regards as they don't deserve any or respect.

I have heard their cell phone bills are in the millions for the fleet.

So they dont use starlink?

@@thefamousdjx No, every Tesla would need to have a Starlink dish to use the network

They use technology advance to increase safety, which they use as a bridge to violate your privacy. There is no coincidence that the last words of this video we're "because it's the right thing to do"

@@talesfromlastnight6109 that's hilarious, look at google and amazon before you criticize Tesla, you don't have SHIT for proof.

Moose test. Watch it.

I like the Tesla, but still there is no electrical I can buy for my need. Thats my main problem. The Tesla also do a lot of things I do not need but I need to pay for it. I love to drive car all aronund the world. My car can go 1000km in -35c - in 1,6m deep water. It can pull 3500kg. It can hit a moose and still continue to drive. I can ever help to recovre your car if you drive off the road as it have inbuild winch. it have 37'' inch tiers and can crawl everwhere you like. All this and its just a regular car. and much more, but it only cost me $20 000USD and the tesla in my country cost $45 000++ In my world Tesla is a down grade form what i normal drive.

@@mikeberg22se Alumni of Volvo Safety Center maybe? I would also add the videos premise presentation is little bit disingenuous _previously the best way to design a safe car was for industry standard crash testing_ ... Ahemmm... No it wasn't. Places like Volvo Safety Center have existed long time as there has been internal crash facilities pretty much at every big car maker with the money to run such facility and the money to run preproduction models through internal crashes of various scenarios. Throwing cars on their roofs, colliding two moving cars in various scenarios, even driving cars down cliffs as I seem to have some development team done to test _car drives into the ditch at the side of the road_ scenario. The standard tests have always been about _outside validation_ , _comparison_ and _outside feedback_ . Not about actual design and development. Company does it's own way more extensive design and testing most likely involving lot of scenarios it can think of and lot of modeling (now in time of powerfull computers, when it is possible). Then when all that is done and car ready, it gets send to standard testing to have outside validation and also *comparable* standard data to compare against competition. Also everytime people start acing the tests... they turn the knob little more by adding some new test. The standard tests are not meant to catch every possible scenario. Those are meant to be comprehensive enough set to establish decent overall safety _comparison_ benchmark.
