Tony Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Don't get me wrong, crash testing is vital but in these tests i think it's unrealistic. In the real world to object being hit would have wheels, so there would be a transition of energy. Don't forget, every action has an equal opposite reaction.

Viking Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 That doesn't really work Tony. The idea is to determine how each test vehicle behaves in exactly the same crash situation, otherwise the data would be meaningless. It's impossible to introduce variables such as hitting a vehicle, because unless you crash tested every vehicle against every other vehicle in all situations you'd not get valid meaningful results. Also, this is American crash testing, the Euro ncap test procedure uses deformable obstruction to simulate another vehicle. Maybe the IIHS test also does, but the vid shown is only one of the tests. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
