the shattered rear window glass flying around from frontal impact is shocking

[@shivensharma0714]

ye bruh

[@tarasaurus98]

The Camry's rear pillars buckling in a frontal impact are definitely a highlight of the year for sure.

[@judih.8754]

Yes! I had to rewatch that one. You can clearly see it on the passenger C pillar. Ouch!

[@TruckerGuy135]

I wonder if the hole cut out in the roof had any effect on that.

[@Benjamin06267485]

That’s great. Safety first ❤❤❤. Toyota #1

[@fiehlsport]

@@Benjamin06267485 What? No, that's not the point. The Camry could've done better. All of that glass flying on the rear occupants was wild...

[@rmat9023]

is that a good thing or a bad thing? O_O

[@joec1774]

Greatest Hits - I get it. Clever. LOL

That Highlander. Damn the dummy went into the steering wheel area past the airbags.

[@Cybergamer-j5q]

0:46 I love how the clip ends with a glass piece going into the camera

Remember when IIHS is featured in Dateline....?

[@Loachie90]

No, explain?

[@iwillstopnow]

@@Loachie90 In the late 90s to mid 00s, NBC's "Dateline" crew would visit IIHS headquarters or VRC (Vehicle Research Center) and would record IIHS crash tests, like Pontiac Transport, or Honda Pilot and etc, they stop visiting to center in 2007 (i think)

[@iwillstopnow]

Search "Dateline IIHS" and we are going to see what I mean

[@mojavemadness5334]

Wish they would bring that back to dateline. Loved that segment

[@iwillstopnow]

@@mojavemadness5334 Me too, BTW I want Dateline to bring these segments back

That's how many tests I watch, the safest car is a shock cart. It looks like it represents the technology of the future.

[@markplott4820]

TESLA makes the SAFEST vehicles in Production. PERIOD.

[@IBANEZfil]

​@@markplott4820I disagree. A Tesla will burst into flames upon impact and harm everything remotely close to it. Besides, Tesla cars haven't exactly got a reputation for good crash protection. I wonder what you based your comment on?

[@markplott4820]

@@IBANEZfil - TESLA according to ALL the NATIONAL safety testers GLOBALLY , inc IIHS+, NHTSA, Canada CAP , Euro NCAP, C-ncap , and Australia. TESLA also scored HIGHEST in Pedestrian SAFETY in active safety Features. TESLA has the LOWEST incidence of INJURY in a crash. TESLA not able to ROLL OVER in a crash. TESLA resubmitted the 2023 PLAID model S and set a NEW BENCHMARK in Safety. when TESLA tested the CYBERTRUCK , after the crash they were still able to OPEN all the Doors w/ ZERO cabin penetration.

[@konceptsketcher]

@@markplott4820 Why aren't they running to show us all Cybertruck's small overlap test?

[@EUC-lid]

@@konceptsketcher the IIHS will need to buy one first. It sounds like CyberTrucks are losing 50% of their value as they leave the lots so they just need to buy a low mileage used one.

[@SuperMrgentleman]

Who here is looking forward to the updated moderate overlap crash for the Volvo XC90, Rivian R1T and also the first ever IIHS crash of a Ford Expedition, Chevy Tahoe and Jeep Wagoneer? Also on my dreamlist of crashes, Tesla Model X and that Hummer EV

[@matthewmooney4301]

My rating predictions for these vehicles: Good - Tesla Model X, Ford Expedition, Volvo XC90 Marginal - Rivian R1T Poor: Hummer EV, Chevy Tahoe, Jeep Wagoneer

[@Surrenitie]

Do you think they'll do the Cybertruck?

[@SuperMrgentleman]

@@Surrenitie I would love a Cyber truck crash but they haven't done the Model X yet so idk how these get prioritized

[@SuperMrgentleman]

@@matthewmooney4301 Good guesses, I could see the Ford expedition getting poor for rear passengers in moderate overlap testing, but I just don't know.

[@matthewmooney4301]

@@SuperMrgentleman It’s possible that it could get a poor rating as it is on the same platform as the F-150. However, it could get the highest rating as the rear seat design is similar to the Explorer.

thank you for making our cars so much safer

[@Brabant076]

Nice Westworld theme background song.

[@Mesh_Expert2010F3X]

why do i like watching these

[@Need1738]

The Volvo rear door glass not shattering on that side impact tho 🥵

[@darknessislight3689]

The Grand Highlander 🤔 should have been called Grand RAV4 🤭 I like this one better than the regular Highlander.

[@Rezaeina]

The dummy car is the safest, I want that!

[@matthewmooney4301]

It’s interesting that even with pretensioners, submarining can still occur. Could this be caused by a low seat cushion angle?

[@iTheShirt]

These are incredible. I don't understand how people don't see the dispersement of kinetic energy as a major success with these tests.

[@rodneyws1977]

Someone gets to do this for a living.

[@Noacuracy]

I loved watching these cars crash testing as a kid, but now it hurts a little :'D ...I know it's absolutely crucial and necessary, but still, lol

When is the test for the Cybertruck coming out? Really curious to see the reating

[@KingKatuunko]

That'll never happen

[@hybridstoatdragon]

Toyota back glass exploding... really toyota? really?

[@parmesanforpresident4156]

The glass shattered because of how the energy is dissipated in a crash. Toyota, like all car brands, designs their cars to spread the crash forces over as much of the car as possible, therein reducing forces on the driver. While the rear glass shattering might be off-putting, it doesn't mean it's unsafe because of it. Also, the rear glass is tempered, so it breaks into small, almost pebble like pieces that are much safer and less likely to cut you than normal glass.

[@watchsee1812]

​@@parmesanforpresident4156 I hope your children will be safe if this suddenly happens.

[@judih.8754]

​@@parmesanforpresident4156 No! The front glass stayed in place. The energy was dissipated at the front of the chassis at the crumple zone. That buckle at the right C pillar is not right.

[@tsslaporte]

​​@@judih.8754shattered glass isn't common but C pillar/Rear 1/4 sheet metal buckling is somewhat common

[@adostrake]

Not really. It's a weak unibody. @@parmesanforpresident4156

[@user-ng2rx4qc8o]

if somebody can ride a motorcycle down the road with no helmet at 80mph then anything past that is safer, the motorcycle is the safety baseline

[@fatlip8315]

Can I ask for a special request research and video? Line X (Urea Treatment"! Makes cardboard virtually indestructible - but can it make a car virtually indestructible and will it survive a crash or will it make it a true Armored Tank?

[@hungson215]

Shattered rear window in that Camry is concerning

[@DrinkWhiskeyRaiseHell]

Why? Crash energy is supposed to be distributed through the vehicle instead of concentrating it up front allowing the front to crush to the point where the engine moves into the passenger compartment. If you make it so rigid that it doesn’t crush, then it’s a bigger force imposed on the passengers.

[@Tyler_durden666]

@@DrinkWhiskeyRaiseHellbecause nobody else’s back glass exploded.

[@georgelin8498]

It’s the only sedan in the video, glass on tailgates are isolated in a front impact

[@phw2274]

@@DrinkWhiskeyRaiseHell Shards of glass as projectiles are not an improvement over force.

[@amac203]

@@phw2274 No, shards of safety glass are not going to harm you as much as a serious impact. What are you basing that on? Your own ill-informed opinion? Would you rather have at worst, some cuts and scrapes from glass, or broken bones, serious head trauma, ruptured organs or death from a massive impact? Please don't state your ill-considered thoughts as facts.

[@jonathanmoore4288]

Why the music? It's annoying. Use the crash audio.

[@etyiotyu3390]

you know why these cars crumble like aluminum foil. its because these cars made mostly out of plastic. old cars were made out of wood and hard steel.

[@karl3132]

Here is music sound the best !

[@robocop-wr7er]

surviving from imapct but shattered glass will take out everyone inside the car glass moving inside the car like shrapnel.

[@fcormier]

For the Camry, anybody know why they don't put laminated glass in the rear like they do for the windshield?

[@developingdaddy]

Laminated glass in the front is mostly because debris frequently strikes front windshields. If it failed catastrophically at highway speeds because of some debris that would be bad, and it would also provide no more protection against additional debris. The little glass shards look bad but they aren't going to seriously injure anyone.

Rivian didn't burst into flames? Did you guys remove its battery?

[@blewis42002]

No, you just have an ignorant view on EVs. They are 60x less likely to catch on fire compared to traditional ICE cars. Taken from the article titled "Fire Incidents, Trends, and Risk Mitigation Framework of Electrical Vehicle Cars in Australia": "in the United States, EVs account for less than 0.03% of annual car fires, with an estimated 55 fires per year, compared to 284,130 fires in internal combustion engine vehicles. Additionally, studies have shown that battery electric vehicles (BEVs) have a lower fire rate in fatal collisions compared to gasoline vehicles, attributing this to the less combustible nature of lithium-ion batteries, the reduced complexity of EVs, and the location of the fuel source away from the front of the vehicle"
