    An IIHS news release video showing crash tests in which truck underride guards fail at relatively low speeds. The institute petitions for a stronger federal standard.

    Cited in Tesla Autopilot crash threads to show how deadly car-into-trailer crashes are and why underride guards matter.

    1. @nostromoJul 2016· in “Tesla's 'Autopilot' Will Make Mistakes. Humans Will Overreact”

      > This is the immediate cause of the fatal accident involving under-running the semitrailer. Rear ending a semi is one of the most fatal types of car crashes. People should definitely not trust automatic cruise control when driving behind a trailer. And regular drivers should give themselves some extra space when driving behind a semi. this video

    2. @drewrvMar 2019· in “Tesla driver again dies in crash with trailer, Autopilot not yet ruled out”

      I was researching vehicle safety for a new car purchase a few years ago and came across this video: this video It freaked me out and I stay as far away as possible from semis on the road now.
