Rich Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 That's really impressive. Has there ever been a case of it failing and do other brands use the same technology? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 I didn't know it's computer controlled. It would be very nice to read how they've done it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffers Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 New technology but getting there. I don't know what Volvo's is like with pedestrians but there are a few issues at the moment with versions on cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 The Honda S2000 failed the pedestrian height regulation because the bonnet is too close to the engine. Honda tried bonnet detonations but even with them thay still failed hence the reason they ceased making the cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I am not aware that bonnet detonation device was ever fitted or even trialled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 I thought the main reason production stopped for the S2000 was cost. It was an expensive car compared to it's competition and the last recession didn't help. It was shortly afterwards they stopped making it.
