So what they are saying is that you have to pay attention while you are driving…got it.
Many people are exhausted after work and they are not as alert as they would like to be while driving home. A good quality automatic braking system can be helpful.
@@cychang3475 Doesn't apply to car enthusiasts and motorcycle enthusiasts, we suddenly become more awake and alert when operating our beloved machines. We don't have any tech on our vehicles and brake without ABS.
WHAT??? I STILL HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR WHAT'S IN FRONT OF ME?? Say it aint so
Looks more dangerous to be on the motorcycle than in the car.
It will be (dangerous) if we all start depending on devices to know if there is something in the road, right in front of us!
Seriously, the title is stupid.
Duh
Not if you consider obesity and health complication deaths from seditary lifestyles while sitting in traffic in a car. In a crash, yes more dangerous, particularly because no safety gear. However, if you were to have an airbag vest, airbag pant, and a good helmet, which they make and are reliable for motorcyclists, then safety is near comparable and on par with cars. Sometimes actually safer, because when ejected, your body keeps going forward, vs in a car, you are restrained and you may remain safe, but your organs go flying forward and rupture despite being restrained by the seat-belt. Organ damage is not reported often in car accidents because X-rays and MRI scans are expensive. The organ damage goes on later to cause strokes and numerous health problems that you will never know will hit you. Crumple zones and airbags mitigate this in cars, but they still are killing more and more each year. There are not any studies that currently factor in airbag usage for motorcycles, but a crash test study done in Europe found that airbags vests absorb 95% of the impact force and reduce injuries up to 60% with just a basic Helite airbag vest. If you wear an Alpine Air Tech airbag vest, combined with the Helite Airbag Jeans, which there is also lower body airbag protection technology as well, you can reduce injuries by over 60% over wearing normal gear. As far as deployment time, they deploy 8 times faster than the blink of an eye, typically around 20-40 milliseconds or 80 milliseconds for a tethered Helite airbag vest. So safety on a bike is getting there and will continue to become safer. There are already stories of riders falling off a cliff and walking away with the airbags as well as crashing at 55 mph into a car that pulled out and flying over the bars with no injuries.
My 2001 tacoma has a detector as well. It's called my eyes and brain.
Not surprising. Mazda even states that their system is very open ended in that they make their cars for drivers, and they don't want the system overriding the driver. You make the vehicle smaller; the systems overall will have a harder time seeing it (the motorcycle in particular) and if you go faster than the test originally was and don't tell the manufactures, they all fail the test. This happens every time IIHS redesigns the test so I expect in four years that the cars will do much better until they redesign the tests again and the process repeats itself.
I usually pay attention to avoid accidents
when i’m driving i just use my eyes
I gave up my suv and bought a bus! Lol everyone gets out of my way!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As someone who uh basically did this, yeah people do move out of your way when you’re driving a bus. It’s kinda amazing.
Oh and the bus is sooo much more enjoyable to drive than any car or SUV.
@NickCBax ikr. I've been out at the lake and it's amazing
Misleading title. Do better please.
Most of those were CUVs, _not_ "SUVs".
So stay off the sidewalks
Shouldn’t this have been determined BEFORE they were made available to the public?
Cars are too high-tech.
Once again the consumer is paying for substandard technology that the average guy who pays attention while driving doesn't even want.
Great!!! Insurance will go up again! At first, safety features decreased the rates. Now, it cost more due to expensive sensors, parts, etc. They should eliminate these annoying automated system or let us have an option to choose.
Just pay attention and keep a distance. No need for all these systems.
this makes no sense. Pay attention while you drive
Donor cycles
I’ll keep my Pursuit Special, the Last of the V8 Interceptors
how about the nissan rogue?
A family friend was coming to a red light in his newer Subaru that had one of these 'computer avoidance systems' when a car came up behind him fast not slowing down, so he attempted to accelerate out of his lane onto the sidewalk to avoid a crash but the computer detected the curb as a vehicle or something and locked his whole car up ...unable to input any control because the computer took over he was predictably rear ended. He couldve avoided a serious crash if his Subie didnt have this crap. I will not buy a car with these systems where control is unpredictably taken out of your hands. I have a functioning brain and eyes and use them all the time when driving, I will not be punished by corporations for those on the roads who dont have one or both.
Making Vehicles safer down the Road and then the Road Is full of SUVs...
Of course the subie was the only one that passed 💪🏾
Hell yeah
A Land Rover or Dodge is much safer... can't get into accidents with it unless your in the service bay.
how about a hrv
Thats why so many old people drive those things, I get it now
Lets put more sensors and other tech on vehicle's so people don't have to even pay attention anymore. I grew up with using the mirrors to backup and just driving. I got a SUV now with backup camera. I can't use it. I've tried.
Jeez. Just when you think this technology keeps us safe in our cars. Terrible.
Those Pharmaceuticals advertised on all the news channels that say cost sudden uncontrollable jerking movements that may be permanent those people eating those pills need cars with safety devices because they're not in control of their car their Pharmaceuticals are in control of the person that's taking them. So every day you're out there driving amongst all those pills not people
So…? What your point bud?
hmm.. what about Tesla 3?!
That’s a car.
Model Y?
Subaru!
Get a Tesla. $7500 back if you (and family) make under $300K. No gas. No maintenance and that includes brakes. But expect double the insurance rates. The savings is in the maintenance and the sweet acceleration of even the slowest Tesla. Never had range anxiety. Strangely, I've run out of gas 3 times recently and that had never happened to me over the past 30 years. Range anxiety is a myth with Tesla's intuitive charging notifications.
Amen to that brother!
Nope. Watch the similar Tesla tests. Their autonomous braking system fails just as often.😊
Cars are too high tech , making drivers LAZY. Above anything else, people should be paying attention when operating a motorized vehicle. Stop relying on computers to drive for you.
Very important for us to know. Thanks!
Who cares
Tesla passes these tests consistently. No wonder you didn’t test the Tesla.
It absolutely does not. Tesla is settling all sorts of lawsuits because they’re autonomous braking system doesn’t work.
I don’t understand. The driver has EYES, does he not? Are we now DEPENDENT on DEVICES to know if there is something in the road? That’s CRAZY. All we have to do is look at the road in front of us! I for one have NEVER blown a fake (or real) biker to pieces, or squashed a fake (or real) car because I was playing with my kids in the back seat, while driving! What is the matter with us? Have we TOTALLY lost the ability to take responsibility, even behind the wheel?
It’s driver assistance technology.
Even the screens of the cars equipped say be alert and be ready to take over when necessary.
It’s called progress and technology and it’s a good thing.
And don’t worry driver is still responsible for what they do.
@RockPizza03 I own one of these vehicles, and I think this "progress" and "technology" is still immature to assist me in my driving. In fact, it actually jeopardized me as it once incorrectly assessed a truck making a curve was getting in my lane. As a result, it suddenly reduced speed, and a car going fast behind me almost collided on my back.
I am an engineer and I do understand that many of these systems are work in progress and it will get better with time, I am not okay paying inflated price for an overhyped work in progress embedded by force on the vehicle though.
Wow people forgot how to drive a vehicle without any tech 🤣 I don't even own a 4 wheeler "car" that's made past the 90's probably because I never needed to use a regular vehicle much I'm mostly driving a commercial vehicle.
If you have your eyes on the road and pay attention like you are supposed to then you don’t need driver assist. I also have 6 piston brakes on my BMW x5 and it has great stopping power.
Subaru is The Best 👍🤩
Give us one conceivable reason why you didn’t include a Tesla Model Y in this test…
Maybe they didn’t include EV’s in this test.
Because they don't have a rating low enough to include any Tesla models.
Car looks fine to me.
I think it was Consumer Reports that tested a car recently that repeatedly beeped at the driver to put his hands back on the wheel - where they already were. Which of all these complex electronic "features" will go bad - probably intermittently - and, when out of warranty, cost plenty to troubleshoot and fix? And, when in-warranty, we'll hear, "We weren't able to replicate the problem" or, "It's within factory specs, there's nothing we can do."
Only teachers buy these type of cars anyways lol
Why didn’t they include the Tesla Model Y 🤔. Same size vehicle, got the highest rating, and is as cheap as these vehicles ($30k)
its not 30k, even with incentives and tax included its more like 40k-50k
A RAV4 hybrid starts at 31k+tax and the Model Y starts at 35k+tax after tax credit. After 2 years of driving over 10k miles you end up saving money on gas and maintenance so the Tesla is cheaper. It’s even qualified as a “luxury” SUV. None of these car companies can even compete 😂
as a motorcyclist I can tell you Teslas don't detect motorcycles at all and ram thru them at full speed, do a quick google and confirm yourself, if I see I Tesla behind me I'm hitting triple digits to make a gap
Same as BMW, Mercedes and Dodge None of them mentioned. I think these cars are only tested because their in a specific category
Was the rogue in the test?
Thank goodness I bought a Subaru lol. It's never actually stopped me from crashing because well, I pay attention, but it has beeped the pre-brake warning early enough that if I wasn't, it could have stopped itself.
Subaru Forester (the one with the “good” rating”) borders on dangerous with its cacophony of beeping and bonging at every perfectly safe pass and merge. I don’t even pay attention anymore: It will scream at me for looking down to change the fan speed or for not seat-belting my computer bag in the backseat, and don’t get me started on the unusable radar cruise control that leaves 100 ft of space at all costs, throwing on full brakes every time someone merges into this chasm so that people behind you honk and rage bc they think you’re brake-checking them. I hate this car!
Only the Touring trim pays attention to what the driver does. You can disable the seat belt check. The distance to stop a vehicle at 55 mph on a dry road is 300 ft.
and this is the reason a honda civic is 24k when it used to be 17k just a decade ago
As I was watching, I thought to myself: I drive a Subaru Forrester, and I trust it. Then they said the same thing! Hahahahaha! I never, ever buy American cars. No way. They don’t even have automatic running lights, which make the car 30% more visible, even on a sunny day. American auto makers have always put safety last. They wouldn’t even have seat belts if it weren’t for Ralph Nader suing them, forcing them to adopt even basic safety measures.
The only American car company that actively cares about safety is Tesla
@@emcsquared8230 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@troy.peters Google It and tell me later how u think
This right here is one of the primary reasons new cars are so unaffordable these days. Remember when the driver was just expected to pay attention so they didn’t rear end the driver in front of them? Yeah me too.
THE TECHNOLOGY SHOULD BE STANDARDIZED, FUNDED EQUALLY, AND MANDATORY ON ALL VEHICLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to why I won’t drive a motorcycle
As long as the passengers in my vehicle are safe that's really all I care about.
somewhere out there a distracted soccer mom named Karma is driving her 6000lb Expedition and she feels the same way
@@gettingluckyyou get on a motorcycle or cross the street you're rolling the dice
Wonder why they didn't test the Corolla Cross in this. One of the more popular small suvs in the US.
😂 💩
Car sales keep declining every year while SUV sales increase every year. Are cars going to be antiques?
