True. NCAP is a controlled environment and should only be used
as a guide. Regardless, i'm not basing everything on NCAP. I do my
research and I know that for example, when mercedes tests cars for
cold weather, they literally drive it from germany up north to
freezing temperatures and carry out the test - so that even the
route there is tested, whereas other companies choose to ship the
car over and then take plane reach there and carry out tests -
which may cause them to overlook safety issues in changes in
temperatures from one region to another.. of course they have other
tests to check this but ya.. u get my point..
it's also about track records.. take volvo.. they have a team of
people who will try to investigate accidents involving their cars
AFTER the car has been sold. they want to find out if there was
something wrong with the car or was it driver error or was it the
other vehicles fault. also looks into impact of damage etc. to
improve the survivability of the car.. then they make changes and
further versions of the same car will be even safer. if serious,
they do an immediate recall and fix all the cars that are already
on the road. so if lets say one person died after a new volvo car
is released because maybe the glass was too near the driver then he
hit other car the glass smash his head or something.. they dont sit
back and do nothing. they fix the problem so that other drivers
wont suffer the same fate.
However, i can't say the same for hafei. there is no track record,
etc. what's THEIR commitment to safety?
btw, can u pple stop using ferrari as an example for safety? it's
not known for a track record of safety (although it is fairly
safe), it's known for producing extremely fast cars with extremely
powerful engines. the price tag is for the design and the
engine.
