“It’s untenable that the clothes cyclists wear to be safe may make them harder for crash avoidance technology to recognise,” a road safety r
During every test, regardless of the lighting conditions, [two of the three cars tested] hit the dummy wearing the reflective strips without slowing down at all. … “The placement and motion of reflective strips on the joints and limbs of pants and jackets allows drivers to quickly recognise the pattern of movement as a person,” the study’s author, David Kidd, a senior research scientist at IIHS, said after publishing the results. “Unfortunately, the moving strips didn’t have the same effect for the pedestrian AEB systems we tested and probably confounded their sensors.”
I get why automakers are designing cars the way they are, but there’s just something about making them ricochet in a small overlap accident that worries me.
I mean just go watch the IIHS’s small overlap crash test of the Tesla Model Y. The initial impact looks decent, especially on the interior cam. The energy load looks low.
But if you watch the initial, full-speed clip with audio, you can hear (after the initial impact) that the car keeps going and collides with the concrete barriers that the IIHS keeps nearby to contain an out of control vehicle.
THAT worries me. Because that behavior can (and will) occur in the real world. It’s MUCH safer to get into a single accident (where the forces are a bit higher, but bring the car to a stop) than it is to get into a primary accident (where the forces are lower) and then get into a secondary accident (where the restraint systems have already fired and can’t protect you effectively).
And this isn’t a Tesla-exclusive issues. Volvo does this too because “it’s safer.” And yeah, in the initial accident it is safer. But the dramatically increased risk of getting into a secondary accident worries me. I have concerns about if it’s a worthwhile trade off.
Tesla Response To IIHS Crash Test Is Irresponsible And Uncalled For Tesla issued a totally wrongheaded response to the results of the latest crash tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Motorcycle Helmet Laws: A Patchwork of Protection and Personal Choice
