There are many others.
The current 5 star cars were the best available in the industry, but it does not mean that nothing significantly better can exist. Tesla is pushing the industry forward with this.
- csours 8y agoDisclaimer again: solely my own opinions. This is where you have to consider the whole safety design. In the video, the pole does intrude into the cabin more on non-Tesla vehicles; however, that means that more (de)-acceleration is passed on to the occupants of the Tesla. That is the purpose of crush zones, and also why no-context footage of crash tests can be very misleading. Additionally, there are side curtain airbags that will deploy before the pole actually gets to where the occupants' head would be.
