http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2015/12/08/nhtsa-crash-test-ratings-five-star/76987630/
>WASHINGTON — U.S. regulators are overhauling the process of assigning safety ratings to new vehicles by proposing requiring more crash-avoidance technologies to achieve a perfect score and adopting new crash-test dummies to assess performance.

>NHTSA on Tuesday proposed revising the current ratings system from a single overall score of 1 to 5 into a multifaceted scorecard that would include the score on crash-avoidance systems and a mark for pedestrian safety.

>The overhaul, which is now open to a public comment period, would go into effect for the 2019 model year barring bureaucratic delays or political hurdles. The changes include:
• A new rating to gauge a vehicle's use of nine advanced technologies such as forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning. That's significant for the automotive industry because it could prod manufacturers to turn often-optional but highly profitable safety systems into standard technology. It could also increase the average price tag of a new vehicle.
• New advanced test dummies with improved sensors to better predict injuries.
• A new frontal oblique crash test to address what NHTSA described as a type of angled crash "that continues to result in deaths and serious injuries despite seat-belt use, air bags and crash-worthy structures of late-model vehicles."

>Currently, NHTSA ranks cars simply based on crash-worthiness. Five stars is a perfect rating. The new system will retain an overall score, based on three sub-ratings: pedestrian safety, crash worthiness and crash-avoidance systems.

>Regulators have not yet determined how much weight they will assign each category when determining the overall score. One thing they've settled on is allowing half-star ratings.

Looks like auto makers are going to have to find new ways to shill higher trims soon.
Also I bet Volvo is pretty happy right now.

Oh joy of joys more retard-enabler technologies become mandatory AND I have to pay more for it? Whoop-dee-fuckin-doo.

if people are so buttfuck retarded, its probably a good thing to have electronannies to keep them from accidentally killing you because you know they wont just git gud/not drive

well its supposed to be for 2019, so you still have probably 2017 and older, and even 2017s will be old one day

I hope they give extra points for crash avoidance to cars that have windows you can see out of.
>>
>>14008592
2010 and beyond is my cutoff because of touchscreens, possible exceptions are S197-II Mustang, ND Miata, and BRZ. It's not about the money, I just like things with windows, steering feel, and lower curb weights.
>>
>>14008600
windows will likely have negative impact because its 2dangerous4you
>>
I don't understand why stopping distance and fading isn't considered a safety factor.
>>
I think the transportation safety board needs to make cars have night vision goggles secured in the roof and when it is dark out they repel down and you wear them to see better at night.

This. If someone is stupid enough to jump in front of my car they deserve to be injured or die. Why do I care about the safety of someone I cannot control? I can't tell him not to run in the streets and play in traffic. Also, lighter weight vehicles with less safety gear are safer for pedestrians anyway....
>>

I hope Volvos hood airbag thing works out so we can have low hoods again at least.

Or stop delivering licenses to fucking retards.
Or make obtaining a license long, expensive and or hard to get so people will think twice before doing stupid shit.

Technology hasn't made cars safer, it allows retards to make more stupid dangerous shit and get away with it.

What if I were to tell you that some drivers are at fault for killing pedestrians? Could you imagine a scenario where this might be the case
>>
>>14010927
This, really. Driving is a privilege, not a right.
>>
>>14011307
/o/ will never believe they can be at fault for anything even though they occupy the worst demographic for incident rate by far as mostly young males
>>
>>14011307
You forgot that noone on /o/ is ever a pedestrian and the partisan mentality of the average poster here prohibits any such reasoning.
>>
who the fuck is that umaru spamming faggot

>>14010368
>cram more shit under the hood
>results in lower hood

is that really how it would pan out?
one can hope at least...
>>
>>14011307
Yes. But I'm not dumb enough to speed in school zones or not look down the road at where I will be and where someone might be crossing. Would I be at fault if someone jumped in the road as was passing through a blind intersection with no reasonable time or distance to stop? Wouldn't hold up in court as an at fault for me.
>>
>>14011376
As it stands hoods have to be x inches above the engine to allow for deformation if you hit a pedestrian.
>>
>>14011383
I completely forgot that your driving habits perfectly represent everyone else's.
Why don't you write a letter to all major manufacturers asking them to just use you as a focus group to proxy for all potential customers you fuckstick?
>>
>>14011409
shut the FUCK up
>>
>>14011409
He'd saying he's at least one person in /o/ who wouldn't run someone over.
>>
>>14011442
Bitching about not being able to run over pedestrians is not a trait I associate with people who would absolutely never run someone over.
>>
>>14011322
Well......about that

>>14011465
When was I bitching about not being able to run someone over? I'm not. I'm here complaining that the safety of a walking person should come after the safety of the occupants. Huge pillars, high belt lines, and small windows are more dangerous for a driver as it all reduces visibility.
>>
...Or teach people to drive and/or not walk in traffic.

Because tests currently only conduct one emergency stoppage per test.

They really should conduct several since brake fade can be a bitch on busy highways. More than once my asshole has puckered because I've had to slow down due to traffic snags and I've prayed to the brake gods to not let me rear-end the fucker who pulls in front then brakes suddenly because he misjudged the traffic speed of my lane.
