回复: 日本德国韩国美国车安全大比拼
看看如下报告里说安全评测和死亡率的关系,举了个例子,福特F150就很典型,2001版在碰撞试验中很差,死亡率有118,但重新设计的F150在2004年碰撞试验中成绩提高很大,死亡率就降到58。
另外一个例子,比如别克世纪,安全评测不太好,没有一个五星,死亡率就达到118,是属于最多死亡率的车型,但是丰田亚洲龙安全评测比较好,绝大部分是五星,死亡率也就只有38,算比较安全的车了。
看来安全评测还是有实际效果的,各位买车时可以参考一下。

The purpose of Institute crash tests is to pressure
automakers to improve the crashworthiness of
poor performers, and the Ford F-150 is a good
example. The 2001 model was one of the worst
performers ever in the 40 mph frontal offset test.
When the Institute later tested a redesigned 2004
F-150, the performance improved dramatically (see
Status Report, Jan. 3, 2004; on the web at iihs.org).
The death rate also has improved. The old F-150’s
rate of 118 during 2002-05 was much worse than
average. In contrast is the rate of 58 in the new
F-150. The crash of a 2004 model (above) demonstrates
the point. This impact was serious, but the
driver’s injuries weren’t. The outcome might not
have been the same in the old model.
