Frontal impacts are responsible for more deaths and serious injuries than any other type of accident 🚗 💥 🚗 A typical scenario is a head-on collision between two oncoming vehicles traveling at moderately high speeds. In most collisions of this type, only one part of the vehicle front is involved, i.e. the two colliding vehicles are offset. The accident data indicates that moderate offsets are the most common in Europe. The #MPDB test, here at CAERI, demonstrates the test vehicle traveling at 50 kph with a 50% overlap into a deformable barrier mounted on an oncoming 1400 kg trolley, traveling at 50 kph as well. The barrier represents the front end of another vehicle that becomes increasingly rigid as it deforms.

The #FlyingCar Is Finally Here. It’s Slightly Illegal. How the inventors of a new generation of aircraft are outsmarting the feds. Most mornings, when the air lies still on the ridges of the North Cascades in central Washington State, Tim Lum climbs into his personal flying car, a 14-foot-long bean-shaped craft called a #BlackFly, straps himself in, and sets the machine’s four rotor blades whirring. As the 61-year-old retired smoke jumper levitates into the crepuscular sky, the landscape opens up below him, the forest stretching along the ridge and the farmland sprawling across the valley floor below. The aircraft swings forward into horizontal flight, and Lum zips off, flowing along the contours of the land, taking in the scenery. “It’s stunning, very dramatic,” he tells me later. “Cliffs and trees and valleys.” I’ve been writing paragraphs like this for decades for magazines like Popular Mechanics and Popular Science, imagining a time in the not-so-distant future when the long-awaited promise of flying cars — more officially known as electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing vehicles, or #EVTOL — is finally made a reality. This time, though, the scene is not a flight of fancy. Lum is a real person, and he really does fly a personal flying machine, typically around five times a day. If you have $190,000 on hand, you, too, could buy one — or, if your budget is more modest, you can book a rental ride in a different kind of electric flying vehicle for $249. At long last, the era of the flying car is here. https://lnkd.in/gwwSiEJg

Roadworthiness A vehicle's roadworthiness is the responsibility of both the driver and the owner/operator. A roadworthy vehicle is one that is safe and beneficial to both the driver and the operator, as well as other road users. Unroadworthy automobiles can be punished severely, especially if they are involved in a collision. It is critical to ensure that your vehicle is roadworthy. Pre-departure checks can save time and money later on, as well as lessen the likelihood of a crash caused by mechanical failure. To ensure that your vehicle stays roadworthy, perform daily pre-departure checks as well as more 'in-depth' weekly inspections. #Roadworthiness

Introducing Denominator 3, the world's first vehicle designed to withstand global storms. This $750,000 vehicle is a heavily modified Ford F-350 Super Duty. It’s basically a tank on wheels, built to withstand the fury of nature’s most destructive winds. Tornadoes are a twisting funnel of air that reaches down from a thunderstorm to the ground. Dominator 3 is a beast built to handle winds up to 200 mph. The vehicle has a workhorse 6.7-liter turbodiesel engine that delivers 400 horsepower. This power is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.

Title: Air Bags ( Hetrick's invention) In 1952, John W. Hetrick's innovative thinking while driving with his family sparked a groundbreaking idea – the air bag. His patent in 1953 laid the foundation for a safety feature that would transform the automotive industry. As a World War II Navy engineer, Hetrick drew inspiration from a compressed-air torpedo incident, envisioning a swift and effective air bag deployment during car crashes. Despite initial industry focus on style over safety, air bag technology evolved, becoming a standard feature by the 1990s. #automotivesafety #Innovation #AirBagTechnology The three key components of an air bag system – the bag itself, crash severity sensor, and gas for inflation – work in harmony to cushion and slow the impact during collisions. This not only saves lives but also minimizes bodily harm. While air bags have been instrumental in reducing injuries, comprehensive safety includes wearing seat belts and incorporating features like padded dashboards and energy-absorbing steering columns. #safetyfirst #AutoInnovation #saferide #safety By embracing and enhancing these safety measures, car companies continue to prioritize the well-being of their drivers and passengers, ensuring a safer journey on the road. #tatamotors #mahindra #marutisuzuki #hyundai #kia are at the forefront of ensuring automobile safety in India by incorporating advanced air bag technologies into their vehicles.
