Researchers said analysis of two-vehicle crash data shows extra-heavy vehicles don't make occupants any safer, but they are a ...

as most cars do not have sufficient crumple zones to absorb all the impact of a crash effectively. Roll-over tests: The NHTSA will test a vehicle by quickly changing directions, allowing for the ...

The dash-to-axle ratio represents the distance between a car's front axle and its windshield base (the most forward part of its dashboard) compared to the distance between the front axle and rear axle ...

Seatbelts and airbags are two examples of safety passive technology found in vehicles today. Crumple zones are another system built into a vehicle’s structure to absorb the impact of an accident.

Crumple zones are areas of a vehicle that are designed to crush in a controlled way in a collision. They increase the time taken for the vehicle to slow down in an impact (like an airbag).

The absence of an engine provides ample space for a crumple zone in frontal impacts. This can be seen in Model Y's frontal-impact test when the vehicle is slammed headfirst into a barrier at 35 ...
