While I completely understand where you’re coming from, I don’t see why your proposal couldn’t be implemented with the two companies being independent entities. It’s almost standard procedure, at this point, for companies to do this. You’ve got literally everyone in the world doing so with GM (Christ, GM sold a…

How often are two cars involved in a small overlap type crash on the passengers side? The whole point of the test is to simulate someone swerving over the yellow line, which would cause both drivers’ sides to impact. If both passenger sides hit, chances are pretty good it is more of a T-bone situation.

That’s a good point, I was only using the “90% of the time that seat’s empty” argument but the lack of stuff to get hit with is better.

At the cost of sounding like a mod from /r/hailcorporate...I think it’s perfectly okay for some vehicles to only improve the small overlap performance on the drivers’ side.

The biggest issue with small overlap - from what I’ve gathered - is the pushing of the steering wheel and pedals up into the driver. The passenger…

4th gear - I always assumed that the offset crash was meant to mimic actual crash conditions, like a (partial) head-on collision on a 2-lane road. Out here in flyovercountry there are 2-lane roads with speed limits at 55 (and people usually do 65-70), and since everyone drives on the right side of the road if you’re…

the ability to make something without defects is only one measure of quality. they can still use shitty materials as long as those shitty materials dont cause defects.

I think I’ve seen this movie. Pretty sure that’s just Willem Dafoe.

In addtion of running him down, the Mustang driver may face charges for not providing first aids to the victim.

...almost obligatory.

Oh crap, what have I done? OlllllllO

230,000 miles and still sliding.

Gasless Gaslights?

beer can grade ?

Hmm. This scenario sounds familiar.

notoriously rust prone aluminum

GMC knows what grade they’ll use.

Personally, I think my 25 mpg sedan is a gas guzzler compared to what is possible with hybrid and EV technology these days.

And the air in Americas cities has never been cleaner since - arguably - ever.

Oil and Ng prices are going to remain reasonable for decades to come - frack, big data and other tech have changed the outlook.
