Tesla has released a new video showcasing the company’s real-world crash test safety system, which it claims is the first of its kind.
Tesla has long been proud of its high safety standards and continues to be a leader.
As we all know, electric vehicles have inherent safety advantages, such as a lower center of gravity and more space for crumple zones. However, Tesla worked further to improve its testing systems.
Tesla’s crash safety system
Tesla’s Japanese Twitter account has now published a video that takes viewers behind the scenes of the Tesla crash safety system.
The crash testing center’s videos were posted early this morning, showcasing its successful results and unique testing approach.
Tesla’s industry advantage stems from the fact that each vehicle presently on the road functions as its crash-testing vehicle, as stated in numerous previous Tesla announcements.
When a Tesla is involved in an accident, the vehicle can tell analysts about the following relevant details:
- where it was hit
- how hard it was
- how many individuals were in the vehicle
- when the airbag was implemented, and much more
Teslarati noted that this data could then be used to vastly improve vehicles for actual crashes in the real world.
In addition to real-world testing, Tesla displayed its testing facility, which enables the carmaker to simulate accidents with actual vehicles and analyze the results in greater detail. Notably, the concept resembles the NHTSA in the United States or EuroNCAP in Europe.
Tesla Model Y receives the highest safety rating
Tesla has yet to disclose what modifications they have made with the assistance of this system, However, there is no doubt there is room for improvement with such a large dataset.
It has noticed similar success outside of Tesla’s testing. The Tesla Model Y recently received the highest safety rating possible from the IIHS. Meanwhile, the Tesla Model 3 earned the second-highest rating.
As customers and regulators strive to enhance vehicle safety standards soon, valuable data on where and how vehicles are hit will become increasingly helpful to automakers.
While other automakers will likely develop these systems in the coming years, it is comforting to know that Tesla has already implemented these incredible life-saving changes.
